## Link an Existing Entry as a Child


If you already have both videos as independent entries, link them after the fact using `baseEntry.update`:


```bash
curl -X POST "$KALTURA_SERVICE_URL/service/baseEntry/action/update" \
  -d "ks=$KALTURA_KS" \
  -d "format=1" \
  -d "entryId=$ENTRY_TO_BECOME_CHILD" \
  -d "baseEntry[parentEntryId]=$PARENT_ENTRY_ID"
```


To unlink a child entry (make it independent again), clear the `parentEntryId`:


```bash
curl -X POST "$KALTURA_SERVICE_URL/service/baseEntry/action/update" \
  -d "ks=$KALTURA_KS" \
  -d "format=1" \
  -d "entryId=$CHILD_ENTRY_ID" \
  -d "baseEntry[parentEntryId]="
```
