Description

winner
https://jira.jpl.nasa.gov/browse/AERIEQS-273
Moderate
When giving an activity which is a parent a Sequence ID, that Sequence ID is not flowed down to the children. Each child has to be manually given a Sequence ID.

I would expect that updating the parent activity's SEQ ID would at a minimum update the SEQ ID for all children which have not been manually set a SEQ ID by the user. There may still be an open question on whether we want parent IDs to override children IDs in all cases.

This is related to AERIEQS-272 Can't add SEQ ID to activity before simulation and AERIEQS-274 Sequence IDs not persistent in a plan.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the parent and child activity handling described in this issue, then compare the related issues AERIEQS-272 and AERIEQS-274. Determine how manually assigned child SEQ IDs should interact with inherited parent IDs, including the unresolved override question. Done means parent SEQ IDs flow to eligible children without overwriting user-set IDs, with the behavior verified in the relevant tests.
