I would like to re-assign the parent categories and I don't see a way to accomplish this.
Note the goal is not to simply rename, but to move categories within the hierarchy. An example would be a category (with or without subs) being moved from a "root" category to itself being a sub --- as part of a re-grouping of products within a store.

Presently this can only be achieved via SQL. You need to change a category's ParentId field. A ParentId value of "0" indicates a top-level category. Otherwise the ParentId presents the bvin value the parent category. So, to move a category from the root level (i.e. ParentId = 0) to be a sub-category of another category, start by finding the bvin value for both categories. You can do this via a SQL query or by editing each category in the admin and grabbing the bvin from the query string of the URL. Once you have bvin values you'll need to run a SQL query like this: Code:
UPDATE bvc_Category
SET ParentId = 'bvin-of-new-parent-category'
WHERE bvin = 'bvin-of-category-that-you-want-move'
