Cannot Declassify as a Subtask

I accidentally made a series of tasks a subtask within another task. When I try to remove this hierarchy, I can’t. The task can only be converted into subtasks of other tasks, never tasks in their own right.

Did you try selecting the subtasks and clicking Unindent (the leftmost button in a small toolbar above the task table, or action from the context menu, or Shift+Tab keyboard shortcut) ?

Brilliant it works. Thanks so much for the quick reply!
