How to change parent of a work package after creation?

Added by Tamas Csabina over 11 years ago

As the topic subject indicates, I want to change the parent of a feature (work package) after it was created.
Not the Update nor the More Actions menu contains a field for the parent, so I suppose it is not possible afterwards.
Is this the case? You can only assign parent during creation?

Thanks and regards,
Tamas

Hi Tamas,

update the work package: On the form select the arrow right next to Change properties. You should see the missing fields now.

Kind regards,
Hagen

HI Hagen,

Wow, that is really a secret drop-down list :D

Thanks again!

You are right, this is “top secret”.

We will change the entire form when refactor it using Angular. We will do this in Q2.

Niels

Neils: Where can I find out more information about the refactor using Angular? We find the current work packages UIX cumbersome, but would like to know what this refactor will do for us, otherwise we may need to start thinking about alternative work arounds.

Cheers,
Chris
