2687235 - Cannot Change Assignment of Parent Account

You have an account hierarchy set up where account A is parent of account B, which in turn is parent of account C. You wish to edit this hierarchy to put account C directly as child of account A, but find that to not be possible.

(In this document, accounts A, B and C represent the respective accounts in your system established in the same hierarchy.)
