What happened?

Hi,

I'm trying to migrate User Story work item type (with couple of extra fields) to another project with already existing User Story. Idea is to sync User Story between two projects. Migration process fails to migrate added custom fields because of line below in ProcessDefinitionProcessor.cs.

if (!sourceGroup.Inherited) // It's a custom group

While debugging I bypassed this check and custom fields got migrated. I also had to comment out line in WorkItemPage.UpdateWithExisting method. Despite of the comment I did not receive mentioned error message.

Sections = null;// existing.Sections; // You will see 'The value specified for the following variable must be null: Sections.' If you try to update Sections

Why do we need to prevent inherited groups migration as it seems works correctly even when if group is inherited?

Thank you
