Description
It seems there needs to be an option to retain the selected parent when switching a specified category, or it should do so by default.
When selecting a category with children and grand children, it seems the selected category's children and grandchildren are switched, but the actually selected parent (or grand parent) is lost.
e.g. attempting to switch a specified "Artists" category with children and grand children, like:
Artists
- First Name Last Name
- a subcategory
- a subcategory
- First Name Last Name
- a subcategory
- a subcategory
When selecting "Artists" as the category to switch to the new taxonomy, all you get is:
- First Name Last Name
- a subcategory
- a subcategory
- First Name Last Name
- a subcategory
- a subcategory
... but the "Artists" parent is lost.

Research direction
Start by locating the taxonomy-switching implementation and tracing how a selected category with nested children is handled. Reproduce the Artists example with children and grandchildren; done means switching preserves the selected parent and its descendants under the new taxonomy.
