Description Kelly McElligott 2022-08-25 11:32:38 UTC
With the new feature of Item Groups, if a library merges two records together, both having Items with Item Groups attached, the merge will only retain the Item Group on the Kept Record. It would be beneficial to libraries that all item information including groups is retained in a merge. 

Test:
1. Have a record (A) with 3 items.  
2. Create an item group with 2 of these items.
3. Have a second record (B) with 4 items
4. Create an item group with 2 of these items.
5. Merge the two records together keeping record A
6. Results will show that all items are moved over to record A, but the item group from record B, is not there.
