Flag --profile doesn't apply target profile in move operations between nodes in a cluster

According to the command help --profile my-profile should apply the profile my-profile to the moved container. I’m trying to move a container to a different node in a cluster and it doesn’t work.

Option --no-profiles doesn’t work either.

Am I missing something?

Hi @pmarini, I can reproduce the problem you’re having. It doesn’t work for me too. It looks like a bug to me. Could you please open an issue on GitHub to report it?
