New Level within Hierachy

I have an established hierarchy and need to add a new level within the middle of it.  Currently, the hierarchy looks like M1>M2>M3.  I will be adding a new level between M1 and M2.  The current M2 and M3 will be children of the new M2.  My concern is around the formulas already associated with the levels in their current positions.  I have multiple modules/dashboards already built using my current hierarchy. 

 

Are there any concerns or issues I should expect?  Has anyone done this before and can offer some guidance?

    I gave that a try yesterday and it worked!  Thanks!

    Hi @rob_marshall,
    I appreciate the methodical approach outlined here. Do you have any additional guidelines if the hierarchy change needs to happen across several models with imports/exports utilizing this hierarchy across the models?

    I think you understood correctly. Basically, I should do the first step in all of the affected models, then move to the second, etc. So by the time I'm actually making (as in the original example) changing the parent of M2 from M1 to M1.5, I am doing that step at the same time across all models.
