Create Child from item

I am assuming "item" definition?

I am having a challenge with not being able to select a list in the content area and then link the selected thoughts. I would like to create a selection list and then link the selection as parents of a thought.

For example, I have a baseball player who has played for several years for several different teams. I have a list of the teams in the content/notes page. Some of the thoughts already exist in the brain and some need to be added (create a new thought for the team/YEAR).

While the engine includes explicit multi-item construction rules for downstream links (children), the upstream logic (parents) is expected to be handled natively via the Plex or through the new Selection Box Actions drop-down menu rather than an inline note attachment generation command.

In Settings|Keyboard|Attachment there is a list of keyboard shortcuts with Create Child from item and another for Create Children from items .

The shift from version 14 to the rewritten architecture of v15 has altered some deep-rooted UI behaviors and keyboard/mouse combinations. The exact reason for the prior trick isn't working—and why we are hitting a wall looking for "Create Parent from item" commands.
