I've built out a Project Sharepoint with multiple libraries and site columns so that documents can move between libraries for the same project. Suddenly, I'm experiencing a loss of MetaData between libraries. individual library columns have not been touched. Anyone have an idea of what is happening here?
And now, magically, it is fixed. I did nothing.

How do you move documents between the libraries in the site?
- UI (browser)
- OneDrive for Business
- Power Automate (Flow)
- Custom code (using moveto)
- File Explorer
- ...
Does the problem surface with all document types (e.g. Office, PDF, ..) or only specific types?

Great. Let's hope it is a one-off incident.
FYI: in case you use copyto you may want to look at the CopyToUsingPath because that can handle % and # characters in names. Sooner or later users will start using these characters because they are allowed in SharePoint Online.
