Is there a way to make the “Parent” field on Tasks editable?
It would be extremely helpful to be able to add a parent to an existing task. Or change the parent task after the task is saved.

It is not currently an editable field. The only way that anything will go there is when you create a Related Task on that current task.

Do you know if it can be made to be editable through a customization to our instance?
Is there a reason it is not editable that I am not thinking about?
This isn’t technically solved. Can this topic be marked as open again?
We are still unable to edit the parent task.
We use tasks a LOT. For things like onboarding and offboarding employees and equipment. We have 20 to 40 tasks that need to be created as “related tasks” (tasks with a “Parent Activity”/ Parent Task) for each “Parent Task” we create. We can import as many tasks as we want from a spreadsheet, but the import WONT allow you to assign a parent task. Therefore, we have to MANUALLY enter hundreds of tasks a month.
Its unnecessarily tedious.
At a minimum, can this be added to a suggestion for the next upgrade?
