[Jason Pickering <jason.p.pickering@xxxxxxxxx>]

We have handled this by creating  aggregate data elements in a dataset
assigned to the secondary orgunit. With a script , we imported the
aggregated data into the secondary orgunit (after aggregating from
events),and things worked as normal in the analytics.

It's a limited approach,but this is one of those issues which is very
challenging to make as a generic feature. You may want to consider this
type of ETL approach until it's sorted out in the core .

Regards,
Jason
