How to change the parent of a feature?

Or, could also be called: "How to insert retroactive features in some point in the middle of the feature chain/tree"?

This is my first time with this software, and I managed to do what I needed so far (some pieces to be 3D printed), but now I need to poke some wholes that pierces all the other pokets I have already created. I tried to poket on the base Pad of the part I am designing, but it simply created a new branch, that has no effect on the other chained features. How can I append the following features on my newly created poket, so that all bellow are affected? It seems to me it would be a simple matter of changing the parent feature of the one I want to be next, but I could not find that property.

unfortunately, we can't do this yet.

There is the Replace Object command in the OpenSCAD Workbench. It is intended to work with Part features only.

And how to use that Replace Object thing? I must select 3 nodes, then it turns clickable, then I click and nothing happens.

I'm surprised no one told you you forgot to do a mandatory thing.

That is

You need to have three objects. The old (child), the new (child) and the parent.
Since an object may have more then one parent feature, it is necessary to select all of them in the right order (old,new,parent).
Maybe you have to click on the recompute button (F5 or Ctrl-R) left of the workbench comboBox.
The replace object command messes with the properties of Features in a cruel matter. It doesn't support the undo system. And i don't know if it ever will. It's known to create cyclic dependencies in the graph if used the wrong way. It only changes the Reference to the child feature, not to any linked subgeometry. (So it won't work on draft dimensions)
It might just not work with the type of features you use or simply breaks the whole file. Use it carefully. If it doesn't work, don't expect this to change in the foreseeable future.
We might create a python Macro that helps for special object (like some of those in part design who link sub-geometry). But generally messing with the parent child relations is a dangerous thing.

And now the simple way:

How to change the parent of a feature?

Delete the old one and create a new one.
