Orphaned Parent Labels
Hello, When testing I created a label that was used as the default in a label policy. I have since used the same label as a parent label to multiple sublabels. The issue is I now have orphaned p...
If a File was already labeled with a standalone label it isn't a good idea to change it to a parent label.
You could use content explorer to find those files and relabel them manually.

Thank you for the reply. I would not be moving an already labeled item from one parent label to another but from a parent label to a sublabel created under the parent label. I have written some PS to accomplish but so far I have been unable to complete the task programmatically.
The parent label was used for testing and the sublabel was created under the parent label after testing was complete, so, I have 40k labeled documents with an orphaned label. Relabeling manually wouldnt really be an option.
