  1. create device type and put something in the device bay field
  2. Click 'Edit this device type'
  3. Edit device type and click 'Update'. Get this error:
    Must delete all device bay templates associated with this device before declassifying it as a parent device. no parent/child stuff defined

You need to clear the device bay area before you can edit it. This does not affect devices created using the template.

I feel like the error message is pretty clear. Only a parent device type can have device bays. If you want to change a parent to child or neither, you need to delete its device bays first. What are you asking to change?

Ah. Maybe the 'Parent/child status' field should automatically change to Parent upon addition of a device bay then. The problem I had was that 'Parent/child status' is None by default and trying to rename the device type was giving this error.

VERY minor then since it's the easiest workaround ever.
