beforeChange and afterChange change source on delete is different

As you can see on the screenshot below, before/afterChange are called with different source param when you are deleting contents of a cell (simply by pressing delete).

Is this by design or is this some kind of bug?

Hi @danijel.dukaric
As far as I’m concerned they should be the same.

I tested the same example and we get undefined value in beforeChange when we erase cell (using DELETE or BACKSPACE). The afterChange hook treats the same action as an edit.

here’s a related issue - we get undefined type of change in beforeChange hook when we toggle a checkbox.
