  Remove Existing Parent: If you need to change the parent, you will first need to remove the existing parent assignment. This can usually be done in the configuration settings for that activity.
  Reassign Parent: After removing the existing parent, you can then assign the new parent to the activity.
  Review Hierarchy: Ensure that the hierarchy of activities is correctly structured and that no circular references or duplicate assignments exist.
