DraggableFlatList inside FlatList blocks parent scroll #617

Description

Describe the bug
I am unable to properly use a DraggableFlatList inside a parent FlatList.
The child DraggableFlatList captures the vertical gesture, which prevents the parent FlatList from scrolling correctly.

I need:

The parent FlatList to handle vertical scrolling

The child DraggableFlatList to handle drag & drop inside each section

Currently, I cannot find any configuration that allows both drag and scroll to work properly.

To Reproduce
FlatList (vertical scroll)
└── renderItem()
└── DraggableFlatList (scrollEnabled={false})

Even with:
scrollEnabled={false}
activationDistance
simultaneousHandlers
nestedScrollEnabled
Long press only drag activation

The child still captures the gesture and blocks the parent scroll.
