Adjust return flight departure airport

I recently booked a flight and now my working is asking me to help them in a different city while i'm away. 

I found the Change flight details section of southwest. But the one option I want to change is my return flights departing city and the site won't let me. Is this really not something that can be done? 

 

Thank you for any advice

The change can't be done online if you booked the trip as a round trip.  You'll need to call to make the change.

Advice for next time... book 2 one-way flights instead of a roundtrip, it really does make things easier when you need to adjust, rebook, etc

Just a thought... if you have already taken the first flight and want to change the only remaining leg, you should be able to cancel that remaining flight, then rebook the flight you want using the travel fund Southwest issues you (if you bought a WGA fare).  You could do all that online and not have to call.
