I just took a quick look at the Exponential 3.9 code which allows the modification of the section of an object in the content/edit view.

When the section is changed in the content/edit view, a session variable ShouldNotUpdateSectionID is set to skip some code for section inheritance in the content/publish operation. I wonder if this will work if a pre-publish workflow with an approve event is used, or any other event which defers to the cron, because that will be another session?

I also noticed that the policy for the section module is not respected.

Maybe it's a good idea to add limitation parameters (content class, subtree, current section, new section) to a policy for section assignment, so this feature can be used safely by end users (like editors) too.

Hi Kristof,,
Thanks a lot for your comments...

Fixed in
3.9.0alpha1 (trunk rev. 16689).

Now when an object is created section_id will be set to '0',
when publishing eZContentOperationCollection::updateSectionID() will be called
and sectionID will be updated.

what about limitations...
maybe in subrealeses....
