             Summary: [UI] Eliminate Create new/merge screen
                 Key: METRON-2281
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/METRON-2281
             Project: Metron
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Shane Ardell


When the user drags a standalone parser and drops it to sub-parser of a group there is a choice with two options.
One is to "merge" the standalone parser into the group. Other is to "create new" group out of the two involved parsers. This is only supported by the backend if we remove the originally grouped parser from its previous group (as the first step of the transaction) and then create a new one (second step of the transaction).

Due to the massive complexities that come with this and the fact that there are other ways to create a new group available to the user (and therefore does not add value to the user), those of us working on this feature have decided to remove it.
