Fix dependencies preventing a status change

If an object has dependencies, they can sometimes prevent the object from changing status. The Dependencies Preventing the Move dialog appears only if there are dependencies preventing the status change.

The following are common reasons dependencies can prevent a status change:

Other users have the dependencies checked out
Dependencies cannot automatically change to a status that would allow you to continue with the move

Note: You cannot use the Dependencies Preventing the Move dialog to move the dependencies preventing the move. You must deal with these dependencies before you can complete the move for the initial object.

Optional: If you want to see a dependency, click beside its title.
The dependency opens in another tab. You can see it and get more information about it.

To fix the issues with the dependencies, take one of the following actions:


Option	Steps
Cancel the move	Cancel the move and try to fix the issues with the dependencies first. For example, you may need to ask another user to check in a dependency before you move the initial object. Click Cancel. Fix the issue preventing the dependency from moving. Try to move the object again.
Fix the issue and reload the dialog	You can fix the issues with the dependencies in another tab without canceling the move. For example, you may need to change the status of a dependency. Click for a dependency. In the new tab, fix the issue preventing it from moving. In the Dependencies Preventing the Move dialog, click . The Dependencies Preventing the Move dialog updates to show only the dependencies that are still preventing the move. If all the issues with dependencies are resolved, the Dependencies Preventing the Move dialog disappears or changes to the Move Dependencies dialog. You can click Continue in the Move Dependencies dialog to complete the move.

The move completes for the initial object.
