# Move

The `<Move>` element moves or renames a field.

By default the source field and destination parent field are defined by the context `<Field>` element. You can specify a different source or destination by setting the `srcId` and `destId` attributes. In other words, if you set neither `srcId` nor `destId`, the field stays in the same place in the metadata structure. If you set `srcId` but not `destId`, the new field is added as a child of the context field.

Operations are not allowed to follow as siblings of the `<Move>` element.

Attribute | Description
--- | ---
`destId` | The destination parent field to move the selected field to. You must identify the destination field by tagging it with an `id` attribute with the same value (as in the example, below).
`name` | The name of the resulting field.
`srcId` | The source field to move. You must identify the source field by tagging it with an `id` attribute with the same value (as in the example, below).

The following example renames the field "MyField" to "MyNewField":

    <FieldStandardization>
        <Field name="MyField">
             <Move name="MyNewField" />
        </Field>
    </FieldStandardization>

The following example moves both "MyField/subField1" and "MyField/subField2" to the root of the document.

- "MyField/subField1" is selected using `Field` elements and then moved to the destination "root", which is the root of the document because there is an `id="root"` attribute set on the `FieldStandardization` element.
- The operation `<Move srcId="sf" />` moves the field with `id="sf"` to the current location.

    <FieldStandardization id="root">
        <Field name="MyField">
             <Field name="subField1">
                 <Move destId="root" />
             </Field>
             <Field name="subField2" id="sf" />
        </Field>
        <Move srcId="sf" />
    </FieldStandardization>
