Hello,

When I try to drag an event and drop over another event, they don’t overlap.

Also when I try to print the `event.start` and `event.end` dates on console, it prints nothing. But when I drag an event and drop somewhere on empty space, it prints dates.

Am I missing something here? Please suggest,

Pasting the small video clip.

I believe that dragging and dropping actions that overlap other events is automatically ignored by the `onMoveEvent` which is why you do not see the prints in the console.

> Hi @ayu AS in the following video showed my drag and drop events on top of each other to overlay doesn’t work. it seems the scheduler doesn’t allow it. I can’t find any property for this. Can you help me with what is preventing it? Thanks [Scheduler overlap]
