System Information
Operating system: Windows 10
Graphics card: Nvidia GTX 970

Blender Version
Broken: 2.8 blender-2.80-edc1b0167518-win64
Worked: (optional)

I usually use the Data Transfer modifier for my normal editing, but it is no longer transfering my normals from one object to another.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
I created a test file in which I have a cube, a sun lamp, and a plane. I have the plane pointing away from the light source so I could set the cube to always be shadowed when I applied the data transfer modifer using the shadow vertex group. However, it's behaving like none of the normals were transfered. I even parented my plane to the light source so it will always be shadowed.

Here's the example file
normaltestreplicate.blend

Prior to April 1st update, yes.

I rolled back as far as March 1st and the result is still the same. Additionally, I appended the files into 2.79 and the result is still the same there too. So I think you will have to provide a better example that works in 2.79 too.

I posted a video showing the issue I'm having. Please let me know if that's not specific enough

Seems like it was 605749ffaa that broke this.
