Parent Events with Children

Most Events in DocketCalendar are calculated from a Trigger Date. The Trigger Date is used to calculate the due dates, but some events are actually Triggered by an event that is being Triggered itself. We call Events with Sub Events, Parents, and their Sub Events Children. Example. Trial is the Trigger. Discovery Cutoff is a Parent,  L/D to Serve Notice of Motion re Non-expert Discovery is Triggered by Discovery. This would be a Child Event.

If you edit a single Event that is a Parent, you will be Prompted by DocketCalendar to consider Updating the Child Events. You can only Update the Date on the Child Events. This function is only to make sure that if you change the Date of a Parent, it's Child Events will be updated to the proper dates.
