Hi!

Is there some way of detecting “on drag stop”? When a user starts to drag i want to highlight where they can drop the item. This works, but if the user dont drop within the areas and instead just lets go the areas will remain highlighted:

Hi Lars

I can see the use case here, but it looks like “On Drag Stop” is not currently supported. We have a change request already for this, but I will mention on this request that it has also come from a Community user.

In the meantime, could “On Hover End” on the tag items be used as a workaround, with the highlighting being removed On Hover End?

Looks like on hover end fires as soon as i start dragging. So it will disable the “dragging” right after it starts

Hello! [Release 114](https://community.appfarm.io/t/release-notes-114/1680) includes a new event handler **On Drag End** , which will fire whenever you stop dragging a container, regardless of where it is dropped.
