I've been using a homegrown application for years which 'HAD' a drag and drop feature .  Since the updated browser has taken over this function is no longer operational and is paramount to my work.  I am hoping someone can help me enable this function.

thank you

    I was under the assumption that this was the TechCommunity.... I would think you could have passed this on.  I'm really disappointed.

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Seems that you have developed an application which has a drag an drop feature but its not working in Edge Chromium bowser.

    In this scenario, we would suggest you to check if the Edge flags are enabled.

    1. Open Microsoft Edge.
    2. Type in address bar Edge://flags and press Enter key.
    3. Search for Touch initiated drag and drop Extension flag. Change it to Enabled.
    4. Relaunch Edge and check.

    However, for a better clarity on your concern, I would suggest you to post your query in TechCommunityforums, where we have experts and support professionals who are well equipped with the knowledge on Edge feature to assist you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps.

    Regards,

    Hello Mr. Roy:  I've spent this morning following your instructions above. Reset settings did not correct the problem.  I created another account with administrative rights - rebooted - relaunched Edge Chromium - to no avail... The drag and drop still does not work.

    Hoping you may have another solution.

    Gratefully

    Thanks for your reply!

    I followed your instructions and it worked for about a week.  Today it is not working at all.  Touch initiated drag and drop is enabled.  I have relaunched EDGE - still not working.  I rebooted my computer - still not working.  This is imperative to my work.  

    Appreciate your time and effort.
