## Description

**Preconditions**

  - Work package module activated.

**Steps to reproduce**

1.  Open a work package (split screen or full screen).
2.  Select the tab “Relations”.
3.  Expand the section “Children”.
4.  Click on the button “Add child”.

**Actual behavior**

  - A new work package create form is opened but there is no field to set the work package parent and upon creation the work package is not shown as a child of the original work package.

**Expected behavior**

  - When creating a work package with the button “Add child”, the title above the subject field is “New Work Package (Child of \[Type\]\[\#ID\])”. (read only, parent cannot be changed)
      - E.g. “New Work Package (Child of Bug <mention class="mention" data-id="123456" data-type="work_package" data-text="#123456">#123456</mention>)”
  - Upon creation the parent of the newly created work package is automatically set.
  - The normal create work package screen (when not using the “Add child” button) is unchanged.
