When trying to set the `srcset` attribute of a `<source>` element, nothing happens. This is on Pinegrow 7.0.4 desktop and 1.0.4 Plugin. I haven’t tested other versions, but I know this has worked in the past. Setting the srcset attribute manually in the code editor works as expected.

Also, on a side note, when I’m on a picture element and use “insert into selected” and choose “source” it adds the element below the img element, not above it as you should [structure a “picture” element](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/picture). Of course, it makes sense to add it to the bottom from a Pinegrow perspective, but I thought I’d point it out since picture is slightly unusual.

Tested and working in 7.05. Thanks again for the quick fixes!
