Problem: Can a reflection be merged back after importing to another database?
Problem: Can a copy of a project be merged back to the source project?
Problem: Cannot merge a reflection back to the source project.
Fix: When imported to another database or making a copy of the project, the “source_proj_id” is NULL, therefore, cannot be merged back.

WORKAROUND:


Create a reflection from the source project and open only that project.


Export the copy or reflection that won’t merge to XER format.


Import the XER back as Update Existing to the created reflection.
