So, I recently stopped using my ColdCard hardware wallet, and generated some new wallets to use with my Passport Core.  I created watch only wallets for both Core and Electrum.  I spent some funds from the wallet using Electrum, and all is well there.  I see my change and the change address, but in Core it shows my balance as zero and when I use getaddressinfo "changeaddress" I get "ismine": false as part of the return report.

Here's the code I used to populate the wallet:

Code:
importdescriptors '[
{
"active": true,
"timestamp": 1455191478,
"internal": false,
"desc": "wpkh([<fingerprint>/84h/0h/0h]<xpub>/0/*)#<checksum0>",
"active": true,
"timestamp": 1455191478,
"range": [0, 100],
"internal": true,
"desc": "wpkh([<fingerprint>/84h/0h/0h]<xpub>/1/*)#<checksum1>"
}
]'

I've tried re-scanning the wallet, but that doesn't change anything.  I've done this in the past, but I don't recall having this issue with any of my other Core wallets when spending from Electrum.  
What am I doing wrong?

Looks like you've improperly imported the external descriptor together with the internal since both are included in the same JSON object.
With that, one descriptor has overwritten the other instead of being imported as separate descriptor.

Normally, the two descriptors should be separated like this:
Code:
importdescriptors '[{"desc":"wpkh([<fingerprint>/84h/0h/0h]<xpub>/0/*)#<checksum0>","active": true,"timestamp":1455191478,"internal": false},{"desc":"wpkh([<fingerprint>/84h/0h/0h]<xpub>/1/*)#<checksum1>","active": true,"timestamp":1455191478,"internal": true}]'
