Just encountered the same error myself - for me i've just created a package of content from another site and imported into a new build which has the same datatypes, doc types etc

When I try to move to the new location, I get the same error - running 4.7.2

I also have the same issue in a multi-site installation. Strangely it only affects the first root node and all other seem fine.

On a hunch as I've not got time to dig into this further right now I installed the great Content Maintenance Dashboard package by Richard Soeteman and was able to move the node using that :) I hope you guys have the same success.

Thanks, I got around the initial issue by copying the nodes I wanted over to the new location, not ideal but did the job - hopefully it will be sorted in the next patch :-)

I'd be interested to find out why it's even being thrown in the first place and only on selected nodes. I have some time to burn tomorrow while travelling to #CG12 so will try and look then. Are you going to be there?

Most certainly will - where are you staging? I'll be at Wakeup

Excellent - not sure what time we land but plane leaves at 10:50am.

Re the copying, right click on the node and select copy instead of move or use the package Simon mentioned. You may need to alter your doc types so that the place you want to copy to will accept the parent item but apart from that should work fine.

In my case, It appears the same error message as when I am trying to move the Global Elements content folder.

Xiuqing Li, that's the behaviour I would have expected. Content Maintenance Dashboard does not have the same issue as it uses it's own UI to move the node(s).
