Detach Step from Parent

Removes the hierarchical relationship between a step and its parent, allowing users to reorganize workflows, isolate steps, or prepare steps for reassignment to different parents.

detachStep(ident, from = pwd())

Arguments

ident

Identifier of the step to detach. Can be the step's path, resource (version) id, full entity (version) id, or short entity (version) id.

from

Root directory for resolving relative paths. Default is pwd().

Value

The updated step resource, returned invisibly after cache invalidation.
