It is easy enough...

1. Edit Parent Profile
2. Goto Boxset Contents
3. Search and select child profiles from list
4. Click Assign Button, Repeat for each disc you will add
5. Click OK to get out of Editor.

Although it will become obvious when you go to do it, you have to already have those discs added to your collection in order to assign them to the box set.  I wish that you could then go to the add-disc screen as an option.  Oh well ...

Select parent profile then ctrl-F12 and it will download child profiles if available

That only works providing the disc id's are part of the parent profile. I have seen a few submission updates recently whereby the submitter has removed this information from the parent profiles (24 various seasons UK locality) but despite PM's they have refused to re-allocate them so now any new user wishing to use this facility will not get the required results.

Going back to the original OP question, Pete's answer is the best way providing he/she has the required profiles in their local, if not then a search and download of the online DB first to acquire the profiles would be recommended first.

It may not be a matter of refusing to re-allocate them as much as not being able to do so.  If the user doesn't have the child profiles (because he doesn't use them) how could he re-allocate them?

We should not be able to delete box set information from a parent profile in the main database.  The only reason this should be permitted is to delete a child that does not belong there.

Ah ha! Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for.
