[GRASS-dev] In G7, v.category with option=transfer layer=1, 2 doesn't seem to be effective

[Nikos Alexandris]

In G7

# transfer cats to new layers, as the manual describes [1]
v.category polygons option=transfer layer=1,2 out=polygons_tmp

# checking
v.db.select polygons_tmp
cat|id|cat_
1|1|

v.db.select polygons_tmp layer=2
cat

Shouldn't that work out-of-the box?

Copy categories from layer 1 to layer 2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8
Existing layer will be overwritten, non-existing will be created.

v.category input=observer output=observer_new option=transfer 
layer=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
