users: how to connect "issue Foo" as child of "issue Bar"?

and.. what does this message ever mean? :blobcat:

In a GitLab issue, there is a section to add a "Child Items". So I'm putting an issue in this input box, but it appears an error called "It's not allowed to add this type of PARENT item. What. I was trying to connect two issues, so this should be the child, not the parent.

@phorge Oh, after looking more deeply, GitLab has two types of issues. One is "issue" and the other is "work item" (or "task"). And only "work items" can be assigned as a child task. A "work item" can be created by the "New Task" button in the "Add" dropdown. Very confusingly, a "work item" can be converted into an "issue," but only if it does not have a parent. However, the only way to create a "work item" is to create it with a parent, using the steps I described before. There are two routes to display an issue, namely /work_items/:id and /issues/:id, but they are almost the same, and only the former route has the UI to convert between an "issue" and a "work item".
