I would like to have the option to choose the child behaviour when the parents split up. Now, when the parent splits, the child stays with the first half of the parent, but I want it to stay with the second half (the new parent).

Here is a scenario where this new behaviour would be more useful. Let's say that I want to outline the following piece of text (I need to do this hundreds of times a day):

 

The final result that I want is this:

 

 

With the stay-with-old-parent beahaviour, the process would need to be like this: the moment I split after "must happen.", then the children stays there, instead of following the "Except if:", requiring me to reassign them:

 

But, with the goes-wih-new-parent behaviour, they would, correctly, stay assigned to the "Except if:".

 

Put differently: generally paragraphs are written so that the list of items that follows it is related to the last sentence: "This country is the world's biggest soy producer. It' main buyers are:"; "This cake is delicious! The steps to cook it are:". So, if we split the paragraph, it's more useful if the list stays attached to the second half of the paragraph.

 

This new beahaviour that I'm suggesting is the default in other outliners that I know, and, for me, is more intuitive and useful in my usage scenarios.

 

Thanks!
