Export collection from main library to a group library
Hi all! I am trying to export a collection of items from my main library to a group library which I use for archiving purposes.
I noticed that if I drag/drop a collection from the main library to a group library, I lose synced attachments that are not in my hard drive at the time of the operation, as well as all date added/modified information. I would like to know if there are ways to move collections between libraries without losing ANY attachment or information.
Thanks for you help.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Re the first question, yes, I am using on-demand download and the files I was concerned about hadn't been downloaded. I'll download them and move the collection thereafter.
Re the second question, I understand it is perfectly reasonable that items with Date Added preceding the creation of their own group would sound weird. However, the Date Added/Modified fields may be used as reminders of what one was working on at a certain time in the past. For this reason, it might make sense for items to retain their original dates of creation /modification even after they have been moved in a new group.
Anyway, thank you again for your explanation!
