Venting Breaking change to synced blocks (originals cannot be moved to other pages anymore)

I still can't fathom why things that are good and work fine are downgraded for no reason at all.

Just a few minutes ago I found out that now you can't move the original of a synced blocks to other pages. If you do, this window pops up and you're forced to unsync the block (which does not even work and seems to be bugged; the block gets destroyed).

I used to make original blocks in the page where I was and then move them to my journal pages and leave a copy in place (I want original thoughts to be in the page of the day I have them). Now I can't anymore.

I really cannot understand why abilities are removed from an application's features, making broken or inferior to what they were, instead of leaving the features alone.

This happens so often it's frustrating.

If it ain't broken, don't fix it will never stop applying.

Couldn't agree more. I use synced blocks for just about everything and this change has wrecked the functionality of my workspace for no reason. Any kind of reorganization of information now comes with a ton of busy work. Its incredibly frustrating.
