[Talk-GB] Disconnecting a way that's connected to a relation

[Paul Berry]

Hi Mark,

This is indeed a pain in iD but I've dealt with it a number of times. I
will explain a quick-and-dirty method that conserves all objects and only
changes the one you intend to edit. It's probably best done as a video so I
will attempt to put one together. I'll post a link to it when done.

The example will be detaching a landuse boundary from a highway, to pull it
back to the property line, where the highway is part of numerous relations.

Regards,
*Paul*
