Cannot confirm that on latest master, for me cube A gets all four vgroups from cube B, and keeps its own too. And reverse works nice as well.

I'm referring to this operator BTW

At the very least needs some renaming cause what it's doing is totally overwrite the vertexgroup list

Ok, so reading code of 'Copy Vertex Group to Selected' op, this is desired behavior - destination ob's vgroups get completely replaced by source ob’s vgroups. So no bug here, sounds more like feature request… ;)

Thanks for the report anyway

Well then it needs a rename? Maybe use the word replace instead of copy?

I would not rename operators themselves imho… but will definitively update the tooltips, those are really misleading!
