Link existing domain to existing qualifying service to make free?

[RichM]

I know in the admin panel I can unlink a domain from a service and reset the price, so that the domain is no longer free.  How I can do the opposite of this?  How can I link an existing paid domain to become a free domain on a qualified existing service?

Thanks!

There's not currently a way to parent an existing domain. Essentially the domain within the services table in the database must be updated so that services.parent_service_id is updated to reference the parent service ID. A price override would need to be set as well to make the domain free. So this could be done with this database update, but there's not an option to parent an existing domain/service in the UI. I can see this potentially being a useful feature https://requests.blesta.com

Thanks for the reply! I managed to figure out linking the parent_service_id manually via SQL but didn’t think about the price override. I’ll go back and update that. I also submitted a feature request as suggested.

Thanks again!
