**Problem**
Currently, all children (and in turn all ancestors) of a work package are removed together with the work package once it is deleted. This is surprising as no message is displayed.

Begin of the insertion**Immediate solution**

1\. Open a dialog to confirmEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion **Ideas**

- Notify user in confirmation message
- Show box askingEnd of the deletion the Begin of the insertiondestruction of the work package
2\. If it has any children, list them and warn of their deletion
3\. Let theEnd of the insertion user Begin of the insertionconfirm her choice in this way.

We can still offerEnd of the insertion Begin of the deletion whatEnd of the deletion to do Begin of the insertionsomethingEnd of the insertion with the children Begin of the insertionfirst, but if the user is aware of her actions, she can simply unlink the children first.

**Out of scope**

- Let the user choose to unlink all children before the parent is deleted.End of the insertion
