I am fairly new to ArcGIS Pro. I am trying to move features with attachments between hosted feature layers. The features were created in Field Maps with photos but were put into the wrong layer. The Field Map points need to be split into five different existing hosted feature layers depending on the collected information. 

I have tried using copy and paste special but the photos do not copy across to the correct layer. I have tried Append and I was not able to make that work because I could not filter out information. I was able to get Append to work on non hosted layers.

It seems like there should be a reasonable answer for this problem but I have not found it. Do you have a work around that will allow me to move the features without reattaching the photos?

I noticed you mentioned you're not able to "filter out" the information, but are you able to use a definition query or select by attributes to narrow down the targeted data? If you're able to do this, the append tool should recognize the "restriction" being used on the data and only bring in the desired features and attachments.
