ETA: Figured it out. The detail item cannot be in a group if you want to “bring to front” or “send to back”.
Simplified it a bit and upgraded to Dynamo 2.0 but now getting error:
Warning: IronPythonEvaluator.EvaluateIronPythonScript operation failed.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 31, in
Exception: The element detailElementId is not a detail element.
