Comments are automatically added to the Discussion control and an entry is made to the History control. Also, the system automatically resets the State and Reason fields to the default initial values for the work item type that you move.

per the documentation it automatically resets the State and reason fields to initial values. I do NOT want that to occur as it changes the history especially when moving items that are closed. Both projects use the same Process template and have the same Work items and states.... is there ANYWAY to preserve the state from one project when I move it to another?
