Description

In most cases Redmine throws an error that the parent assignment can't be done.
In the Redmine logs no error messages are shown.

To get the reassigning working you have to:
  1. Delete the parent number in the child issue.
  2. Save the child issue.
  3. Enter the new parent value in the child issue.
  4. Save the child issue.

In some case its working on the fly, I couldn't determine the reason of the different behaviour so far.

No error in the log are shown but the GUI are showing a error that the value can't be assigned.
This is the same error message if an illegal value should be assigned to an attribute.

The error message in the GUI looks like: Parent task is invalid

The redmine log only shows:

In the case #21558-3 the problem was a relation in the issue which I wanted to set the parent dependency.

In this case helps:
  1. Deleting the relation.
  2. Adding the parent dependency.
  3. Adding afterwards the deleted relation again.

But there are other cases, I had also a issue where the relation copied from in the parent was preventing the new child issue.
After I assigned the dependency I could add the relation in the parent afterwards.

Scenario:
  1. Subtask will be copied vie right click.
    • The old subtask gets a copied to relation.
    • The new issue gets a copied from relation.
  2. Later on the user wants to assign a parent to the copied issue.
  3. Redmine will prevent a parent assignment.
