Hello @pawelktr ,

You can do it with the onBeforeEventChanged event:
https://docs.dhtmlx.com/scheduler/api__scheduler_onbeforeeventchanged_event.html

The thing that you have to do, is to compare the current section id of the event, with the section of the original one(before changes started), and show some modal. Based on the choice (yes/no) you can restore the event’s data to the original one or keep it changes.

The code may look like follows:

var fromSec;
var currSec;

scheduler.attachEvent("onBeforeEventChanged", function(ev, e, is_new, original){
  fromSec = original.section_id;
  currSec = ev.section_id;
  if(fromSec != currSec){
    dhtmlx.modalbox({
      text: `Do you want to move event from section ${fromSec} to ${currSec}`,
      width: "500px",
      position: "middle",
      buttons:["Nope", "Yes" ],
      callback: function(index) {
        switch(+index) {
          case 0:
			ev.section_id = original.section_id;
            ev.start_date = original.start_date;
            ev.end_date = original.end_date;
            scheduler.updateView()
            break;
          case 1:
            break;
        }
      }
    });
  }
  return true;
});
