Hi Knut - thanks for the quick response and the tip about search.

Let me try to clarify what I'm trying to do.  We have our own instance of
DHIS2 set up, and we have the demo data from Sierra Leone uploaded.  Sierra
Leone is the root org unit.  I am trying to create a new root org unit,
named *Country*, and move the Sierra Leone hierarchy under the new root org
unit (so that I can add another branch of org units for another country).
I am not trying to create multiple root org units.  In the online
documentation (https://www.dhis2.org/doc/snapshot/en/user/html/ch04s02.html),
in the  4.2.5. Hierarchy operations section, it says "If no parent is
selected then the orgunit will be moved up to root level (top of the
hierarchy)".  In fact, this cannot be done, because it's impossible to
un-select the root org unit in the hierarchy.  Similarly, I am unable to
move Sierra Leone to any other position other than the root org unit.  I am
also unable to rename Sierra Leone org unit, and I'm unable to delete
Sierra Leone org unit.  A programmer I spoke with confirmed as well that
she was never able to create a new root org unit in the user interface, and
it's only possible to do so from the server end by a programmer, which is
not ideal.  Can you provide any clarity?

In searching further online, I wonder if I am experiencing this same bug:

Thanks very much,
Carolyn
