rush does not update dependency in package.json

I have a project which is using rush as a build tool.

package.json includes both dependencies and devDependencies sections.

A package foo is referenced in both sections. I want to update foo from version 1 to version 2

If I run the command

rush add -p foo@2 -m

Only the reference in the devDependencies section is updated. Same if I run

rush add -p foo@2 -m --dev

Any suggestion on how to update the package in both sections? I am using node 20.9.0, pnpm 8.9.1, npm 6.14.15, rush 5.109.2

I'm not sure it is the correct way of keeping the dependencies.

• "dependencies" are the packages that are required for your application to run properly
• "devDependencies" are the packages that are required for development and testing purposes only (eslint, etc)

So if you have the package in dependencies - you could remove it from devDependencies. But make sure it is really needed in build/run time. It might be better to move some packages from dependencies to devDependencies

So Rush.js should not update the dependencies in both places.
