BPv6 Surface Automation | Relative Parent

[DmytroShpin]

Hello! Currently, I've been working through Advanced Surface Automation Guide and I'd like to ask a question regarding a relative parent attribute. Why can't I see the relative parent attribute when a location method for my region is set to Coordinates? I can see it in SA Guide, but it's not available in my BP instance. Though when the location method is Image everything works just fine. Is it a bug?

No it's not a bug but perhaps the UI could be more intuitive. Relative+Coordinates is not a valid/logical combination, even though the UI suggests it is - perhaps the drop down should be greyed out so you can't select this combination.

Ok, thanks John!

I use the relative + coordinates combination for most textboxes.  I can't use Image since the content of the textbox will vary.  I then like to make it relative to a label so that BP can find it again even if the screen layout changes. You can choose the relative parent before you change it to co-ordinates.
