How to change the value "uploaded to" in the media library (Wordpress 4.0)

Question

When I open my media library and go to the detailed view i get the list of the pictures contaning this row:

Is there a way/plugin to change the "uploaded to" setting for one spesific picture? (My theme can generate slides and it takes all the pictures in one slide that have the same uploaded to value.)

You'll need to do 2 things. First, filter the current media columns.

add_filter('manage_media_columns' , 'newMediaColumnNames');
function newMediaColumnNames( $columns ) {

    //remove the old column - optional
    unset( $columns['parent'] ); 

    //add a new one to take it's place
    $columns['new_uploaded_to'] = __('New Uploaded To');

    return $columns;
}

I was not able to find a way to edit the content for the pre-existing Uploaded To column so we remove the current one and replace it with our own, or just add a new column for the custom content - that's up to you.

The next step is to add the content for the new column:

add_action('manage_media_custom_column', 'newMediaColumnContent', 1, 2);

function newMediaColumnContent( $column_name, $id ){

    switch($column_name) {
        case 'new_uploaded_to':
            echo 'Custom Content Here';
         break;
    }
}

You'll need to add the logic to add the actual content you want to display where the echo 'Custom Content Here'; is. Whatever you echo out there will be displayed in the new column you created.

Hope this helps!
