[5.0 Beta] (D742280380) unable to move sub-directories between group libraries.
Debug ID => D742280380, version => 5.0-beta.162+1b81004, platform => Win32, locale => en-US, Java =>SE 8 U121
Unable to move sub-directories between group libraries via drag and drop from client.
Both group libraries are private with user (me) having read and write access. Is this a new undocumented feature ? (lol) I'm pretty sure I was able to do this before.
Any feedback will be most appreciated.

Hi Dan,
(FYI) Today's update to 5.0-beta.163 did not fix the problem. I submitted a new report for your review.
Thanks again, for all you do.
You're not getting errors any more. Are you sure you're not just trying to drag a collection to the same destination? That won't work — Zotero stores the link and won't let you copy the same thing twice. (Eventually this will be used to help merge changes between libraries. For now you if you want to copy a set of items again you have to delete them and empty the trash in the target library.)
Can you describe exactly what you're doing?
When I drag and drop into the private group, the cursor x out, that is a circle cross over and the move does not happen.
I rebooted the client and Firefox and clear the cache on Firefox. This time I tried the move again, however it did not create an error code as it did before.
So to confirm I'm only dragging from My Library to a group library, not the other way around.
If you create another collection in My Library and copy the items from the first collection into the new one, are you able to drag the new collection to the group?
Also, just to be sure, can you create collections and items manually in the group library?
No, and if that was the case wouldn't then items from that folder that were move be in the new group even though the group folder is not showing ?
>Also, just to be sure, can you create collections and items manually in the group library?
Yes, in both or any group for that matter
Are you able to copy a new empty collection to the group?
Are you able to copy a new empty item to the group?
> Are you able to copy a new empty collection to the group?
No
> Are you able to copy an [new empty ?] item to the group?
Yes, I can copy an item from My Library into the Group
A folder ( i.e collection ) empty ? No
Just an item ? Yes
fix in 5.0-beta.166+e9fd7f2
