How to use Parent symbolic name in DT and activity
Hi,
I tried to use Parent symbolic name in an activity and it threw the below error
"Use of the "Parent" symbolic name is not supported in this context."
I was able to use Top and of course Primary.
How can i use "Parent" symbolic name in activity and DT.
Thanks
Avinash

Also is there anything interesting in tracer?

Thanks Santanu.
I have a parent page SAE-Work-Testing, embedded pages SAE-Data-Candidate, SAE-Data-Employee.
-TopLevelPage
--TestingPage
---CandidatePage
---EmployeePage
From a data transform in Candidate class context, i would like to access the parent TestingPage using Parent symbolic name.
I have added Parent as type Testing to pages and classes and when i try to access any property in TestingPage from CandidatePage context using Parent.TestingPageProperty, it throws below error
"Use of the "Parent" symbolic name is not supported in this context."
I'm able to use Top keyword to access the TopLevelPage. But parent does not seem to work.
