FORUM ADMINISTRATOR / FORUM MODERATOR / JAZZ DEVELOPER What semantics were you trying to capture with the "parent" relationship?
The pre-defined parent relationship has a variety of semantics, including work breakdown cost, i.e. which higher-level aggregation work item should be assigned the "cost" of executing that work item. That is one reason a work item can have only a single parent, because otherwise that cost would be multiply counted, resulting in an incorrect overall cost for the project.
I'm guessing that you are looking for some kind of "depends on" relationship ... i.e. the parent is not done until that child is done. You wouldn't use the pre-defined parent relationship for that. You could use Tracks, as Ralph suggests, or one of the other pre-defined relationships (but you would probably have to implement the semantics you want with custom pre-conditions).
