Unable to edit or remove parent work item

Simon Pearce

How do I change the Epic that my work item is linked to?

Following the official instructions, I opened the Command Palette and looked for either Edit Parent or Remove Parent but found neither of them.

Do I need a specific Project permission to do this? I am an administrator of the Project and of the application.

Hi @Simon Pearce and welcome to the Community!

It should be as simple as just clicking into the Parent field and either clicking the x icon there to remove the current parent or start typing to select a different parent.

If you want to modify details of the parent item itself, then you'll need to open that parent item itself and edit its details directly in the work item itself.

Can you be more specific as to what exactly you are trying to achieve, how you are trying to do this and what problems you experience when you try to do it that way? Not sure why you would use the command palette to change the parent of a work item.

Hope this helps!
