Description

Is there an existing issue for this?
  • I have searched the existing issues
Current behavior

You currently cannot seem to update an work item's parent. As the modal/popup closes whenever you interact with it (or anywhere else).
This is not an issue when creating a work item, that modal works fine.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Be on a mobile/touch device
  2. Go to a project's work items
  3. Open a work item, doesn't matter if it already has a parent
  4. Press the parent value to change it
  5. Try to search, or scroll, the modal/popup immediately closes
