Description

Tentatively, this is a known bug which has been fixed in 3.3.0 (we're on 3.2.1.stable).

Tentatively, the problem is conflicts in "relationships" rules between
  • a) either the task to be moved or any of its subsidiaries, AND
  • b) the new parent (tentatively not the old one).

It's not clear what the conflict is, because the error message never specifies (it just says "Parent task is invalid"). Sometimes a task with relationships can be moved, and sometimes it cannot.

Workaround:
  • Add a comment noting any "relationships" in the task (copy-paste works ok), then remove them.
  • Repeat for all subsidiary tasks.
  • If a task cannot be moved from parent X to parent Y even after "relationships" have been deleted:
    • move it to the root first (no parent)
    • then move it to task X
