Copying collections from MyLibrary to a group library
There seems to be a disturbing error:
I want to copy a collection from MyLibrary to a group library.
The collection contains some sub-collections. The sub-collections contain entries/items with and without a meta-data wrapper.
When I drag the collection from MyLibrary to a group library, only entries/items that have a meta-data wrapper appear in their proper place in the sub-collections. Simple PDFs or emails without a meta-data wrapper are NOT copied to the subcollection but appear only in the top-most general collection of the group library and thus lose their context.
It is even not possible to drag a simple PDF (without meta-data wrapper) from MyLibrary to a sub-collection in the group library. The PDF simply appears in the top-most general collection of the group library.

Thanks for your fast response!
This solves only half of the problem:
- Drag&Drop from My Library to group library now also copies standalone files.
- Exporting a collection from My Library and reimporting it into a group library still drops all standalone files.
We'll look at the issue in the other thread separately.
