Specification
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/dnd.html#dndevents


Summary
The drag and drop specifications require the "dataTransfer"'s object 
"dropEffect" attribute to have certain predetermined values on "dragEnter", 
"dragOver" and "dragLeave". Drag enter and drag over should have a "dropEffect" 
based on the current "effectAllowed", and "dragLeave" should always have a 
"none" "dropEffect". Currently, Chromium doesn't adhere to these rules. With 
the launch of this feature, Chromium will start respecting the specification 
and assigning the correct values to this attribute so that web developers can 
start relying on it.


Blink component
Blink>DataTransfer


Web Feature ID
draganddrop


Motivation
Many bug reports have been filed over the years by developers being affected by 
the lack of a correct dropEffect implementation: 
https://issues.chromium.org/issues?q=title:*dropEffect*


Initial public proposal
No information provided


TAG review

TAG review status

Risks




Interoperability and Compatibility
None. Drop effect is reported as working properly in Firefox and Safari

Gecko: Shipped/Shipping

WebKit: Shipped/Shipping

Web developers: Strongly positive Visiting the crbug query linked in the 
"Motivation" section will show strong sentiment from web developers in wanting 
this fixed.

Other signals:


WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it 
has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?
None. Should any implementation issue be found, we have a feature flag acting 
as a kill switch (SetDefaultDropEffect).



Debuggability
No additional functionality is needed to be added to debug this feature


Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, 
ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)?
Yes


Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests?
Yes
* WPT: "dropEffect" and "effectAllowed" are tested in: 
https://wpt.fyi/results/html/editing/dnd/drop?label=master&label=experimental&aligned
 * Other tests: We have unit tests (drag_and_drop_interactive_uitest.cc) and 
blink web tests (third_party/blink/web_tests/fast/dnd/*) verifying the correct 
functioning of this behavior.


Flag name on about://flags
None


Finch feature name
SetDefaultDropEffect


Non-finch justification
The feature will be shipped enabled by default to be used as a kill-switch in 
case a severe issue is discovered.


Rollout plan
Will ship enabled for all users


Requires code in //chrome?
False


Tracking bug

Estimated milestones


Shipping on desktop 148

Shipping on Android 148




Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop 
issues. Please list open issues (eg links to known github issues in the project 
for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web 
compat/interop risk (eg, changing to naming or structure of the API in a 
non-backward-compatible way).
N/A
