When a project task has child project tasks, moving a CWM item under it is blocked for all users. For details on assignee and hierarchy rules, see [Project task hierarchy and permissions in CWM](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/collaborative-work-management/project-task-rules-in-cwm.md).\n\nRole required: sn\\_cwm.cwm\\_user\n\n## About this task\n\nUse one of the following approaches based on what you want to change:\n\n-   To move a CWM item to a different project task, update the **Project task** column value from the List view.\n-   To remove the connection to a project task without moving the item elsewhere, use the un-indent option from the context menu.\n\nThe **Project task** column dropdown lists only project tasks that do not have child project tasks. Project tasks with children are excluded because they cannot accept CWM child items.\n\n## Procedure\n\n1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Collaborative Work Management**.\n\n2.  Open the Board that contains the item, and switch to the List view.\n\n3.  To move the item to a different project task, in the **Project task** column for the item, select the new project task from the dropdown.\n\n    The item is re-parented on the Board under the new project task. The **Project** column updates automatically to reflect the new parent's project.\n\n4.  To change only the project without selecting a new project task, in the **Project** column, select a different project.\n\n    When the project changes, the **Project task** value is cleared for the item.\n\n5.  To break the connection entirely, open the context menu for the child item and select **Un-indent item**.\n\n    The **Project task**, **Project**, and parent fields are cleared. The item is no longer displayed under a project task on the Board.\n\n\n**Parent Topic:**[CWM integration with Project Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/collaborative-work-management/connect-project-workspace-cwm.md)\n\n**Related topics**  \n\n\n[CWM integration with Project Workspace](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/collaborative-work-management/connect-project-workspace-cwm.md)\n\n[Create a CWM task or story under a project task](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/collaborative-work-management/create-cwm-work-under-project-task.md)\n\n[Show the Project and Project task columns in a CWM Board](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/collaborative-work-management/show-project-columns-in-cwm-list-view.md)\n\n[Project task hierarchy and permissions in CWM](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/collaborative-work-management/project-task-rules-in-cwm.md)\n\n"}}
