Error description
Several currentItem binding-related issues can occur in a Coach when a Coach View binds to a currentItem of a variable of List. The symptoms can occur under various conditions when currentItem is bound to Coach View. For example: -- nested coach views that bind to currentItem might not sync up their states correctly even though they bind to the same boolean type option binding inside a repeating section. -- binding for a Coach View that binds to a currentItem inside a repeating section is not updated after deletion of an item in a List. -- a stale currentItem binding can exist when a binding variable (List of BO type) gets replaced. As a result, calling this.context.binding.get("value") could return the value that existed prior to the replacement value. -- some Coach Views might not get the currentItem binding value (property in a complex BO type) in repeating sections correctly after the items are added to the List. This can be accompanied by a JavaScript error "TypeError: previousNode is null" in the browser console. -- A Coach View (which binds to currentItem) and binding data might get out of sync after a binding variable (List type) has multiple add item, delete item, and complete replacement operations.
