Rename Matrix Parent

edited Nov 26, 2019 8:37AM in Accounting / ERP 1 comment

Anyone tried it?  Am I heading down a bad path?
It seems to work if I:
  Edit the Parent Item
  Change its Item Name/Number
  Choose Update Matrix (there's no Save button for the parent item)
  Unmark All (because I don't want to change the Item Numbers of the children).
  Submit  (mass update says 1 updated (I assume the parent) and xx failed )

I go back to the parent it's name is changed, everything else looks the same.
I go to a child, SUBITEM OF is new parent, everything else same (Name, Display name, etc.) which is what I want.

Why, you ask?  Basically, I want to standardize the matrix options for my items and you can't add a matrix option (list) to an existing parent.

Howdy, Stranger!
