Move child element to new group without unlinking

[thomasmes]

Say I have a list, List1 with 3 groups. I've copied List1 to List2. This generates child elements in the new list. Then I've added a new group (group4) to List1 with a couple of new elements. I do see that these new elements appear as childs in List2, but they appear in group3 of List2. The group group4 was not automatically copied to List2. I've mannulay created a new group4 for List2. Can I move the new child elements of List2 to this group without unlinking them? Or is there an other way to keep the child elements and groups of kopied lists in sync with their parents?

Nope.

It's a tough problem, simply because there is no parent / child relationship for groups. Or even lists. Only elements. One of those things we might get round to at some point.

What is then the best option? To delete the child list and create a new copy?

There isn't really a good solution yet. If you really need to not unlink, and you feel brave, you could tweak #_fabrik_elements by hand in your database client of choice (like phpMyAdmin), and set the group_id for the elements in question. After backing up your database, of course!
