Summary0003706: Not Possible To Animate a PathResource Without Breaking Apart It Being a Resource
Description

Currently, although it is possible to create Path Resources, and have them featured on-Stage, it is however not possible to animate them where they are used whilst still conserving their status as a Resource. When a Storyboard is created, and the PathResource is animated within it, it breaks the Resource link, transforming it into a non-Resource Path.

If this is intentional, then perhaps we need to issue some warning that applying animations will lead to converting the GlobalResource into a local value. Otherwise, perhaps this is something that should be supported. However, there may be limitations imposed due to no longer being able to swap out one PathGeometry Resource for another, since they contain completely different collections of Path Points between them that are likely incompatible in animation.

Steps To Reproduce

Repro Steps:

1) Create a Page
2) Using the Path Tool (P), draw any enclosed Path on the Stage within the RootGrid.
3) Select the Path using the Selection Tool (V), and navigate to its Properties Panel.
4) Hover over the Path's 'Data' Property, click its 3-Dot menu, and select 'Convert to Resource'.

Observe from the green frame around the Property, that this Path is now utilising a Resource.

5) Navigate to the Animation Panel (Ctrl+5), navigate to the Storyboard tab, and create a new Storyboard.
6) Equip the Path Selection Tool (A), and modify the position of any Path Points on Frame 1.
7) Move the playhead down the timeline, and modify the position of the Path Points again to a new location, then exit the Storyboard.

8) Select the Path to expose its Properties Panel.

Observe how the Data Property is no longer using the Path Resource.

Expected Results: Either animating a PathResource supports animation without breaking the link, or a warning is issued to the user that the PathResource will be converted to local values when animated.
