## Description

### 

### Steps to reproduce

*Please write down the steps to reproduce. Try to write down all necessary preconditions (what permissions do you have, are other users involved?). Example:*

1.  Create a new type (when you have a tree of projects)

2.  Assign the WP type to a few project leafs (but not all). Save

3.  Try to assign it to the parent. Save... it saves, but the checkmark does not appear

4.  As a workaround I enabled it for all projects (it worked)

5.  Click on "enable for all projects" switch. It errors now.

### What is the buggy behavior?

1.  *Cannot assign WP type to parent project, after some leafs (not all) are enabled*

2.  *Enabling it for all projects work, but then you can never disable it again*

### What is the expected behavior?

*Enabling WP type for project hierarchies used to work and should continue to work*

### **Logs**

**This log is from the error (disabling the "enable for all projects" wp type).**
