Common mistakes & gotchas
- Parent refers to the immediate container (a gallery template, a group, a form's DataCard) — it is not the screen; use the screen name or App directly for screen-level values.
- Only available for controls placed inside a container that exposes properties; a control directly on a screen with no container has no valid Parent reference.
