Group hierarchy can be modified after Article creation in Bulk

Group Hierarchy can be modified after Article Creation in Bulk. User can open the Article in Edit mode and modify Department Name and according to that the Section and Division will be re-populated. After saving the entry Group Hierarchy will be automatically modified. Similarly if you try to modify any other group (i.e. Section or Division), it cannot be done as those are auto populated fields and manual entry is disabled there.


Case Study

                                                   Article 1                                 Article 2

                                                =========                            ==========

Division -                                  Gents                                     Ladies  

Section -                                   Upper                                     Tops

Department -                            T-shirts                                  Short top 

Article 1 can be identified as Gents - Upper - T-shirts and  Article 2  can be expressed as Ladies - Tops - Short top. Both have been created by Excel import. 

Now, the user can if he wants - open any of the articles individually and modify the Department (T-shirts / Short top) to some thing else and accordingly the respective Sections (i.e. Upper and Tops) will change to some other value and correspondingly the Division name (i.e. Gents and Ladies) would change.

However, the user cannot change Section or Division in the same.
