Set parent with resave/entries

[pixelmachine]

Is it possible to set a parent with the resave/entries command? I can't get it to work successfully.

I tried a few options like:

craft resave/entries --element-id 2728 --set parent --to "fn(\$element) => \$element->getSiblings()->id(37374)->one()"

It loops through the entries and saves them without error but there's no change to the parent setting. The IDs are correct and the getSiblings method returns the correct entry from the templates.

Yeah it’s possible.

Craft 3:

php craft resave/entries --element-id 2728 --set newParentId --to "=37374"

Craft 4:

php craft resave/entries --element-id 2728 --set parentId --to "=37374"

Ah thanks. I wasn't aware newParentId existed for entries, it's only listed on category models – I looked everywhere for some way to set the ID directly!

Do you know why my function didn't work?

It didn’t work because setting a new parent via a parent property is not supported.
