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