Animation not working after appending node group I have a question concerning node groups and animation. 

I have a project in two files, both containing node animations. But, how can I merge the two node configurations together?. Of course I can re-create the node circuit manually in blend2; So I did. But then I thought there had to be a better way to do this, and the words Group and Append came to mind. 

The appending process worked; but to my surprise, when I connect the appended group to the node circuit of blend2, everything works except for the animation. 

Is there any specific step or configuration required to append the actual animation together with the rest of the imported node configuration?

Even though my question is generic, the two blends are available (if required).

Thanks in advance for all your help.

The animation data is getting ported with the node group, just not applied. You can import a whole scene and it will work fine.

No solution has been found to re-link the animation data.
