**As** a user of OpenProject
**I want to** see a work package's parent in the list of relations
**so that** I can add or edit it easily, in a way that is consistent
Right now, the only way to add a parent item from the work package view is to use the tiny link in the top left corner of the screen.
My users would find it much more intuitive to have the Parent display in the Relationships tab, above or below the Children relationships.
**Acceptance criteria**
* There is a new "Parent" group in the Relations tab on the right (shown only when a parent exists)
* It lists only the direct parent
* This section is positioned above the 'Children' section
* There is a new "Parent" option in the "+ Relation" button
* Description: "Makes the related work package a parent of the current (child) work package"
* It is positioned after "Successor (after)" in the drop-down menu
* The height of the overall drop-down is now 510px 550px (to ensure that a portion of the following item is visible, indicating to the user that there are items hidden behind a scroll).
**Out of scope**
* Showing hierarchy (all ancestors) is out of scope for this feature, it will be dealt with separately, since this requires changes to the existing component
