Change reference types

You can change the reference type of a child element and event frame that has at least one parent in the hierarchy and is not at the root level of the hierarchy (where the reference type must be parent-child).

1. Choose from the following actions:

   Change a child element reference type	In the navigator, select Elements. In the browser, expand the Elements tree and locate the child element with more than one parent. Right-click the child element and click Convert > Change Reference Type.
   Change a child event frame reference type	In the navigator, select Event Frames. In the browser, expand the Event Frames tree and locate the child event frame with more than one parent. Right-click the child event frame and click Convert > Change Reference Type.

2. In the Change Reference Type window, select a parent from the Parent list.

3. Select a new reference type from the New Reference Type list. Only valid reference types for the selected parent are available.

4. To establish the selected parent as the primary parent (when the selected reference type is valid), select the Primary Parent check box.

   Note: To be valid, the selected reference type must be strong and no composition references can be defined for the element or event frame.
