Parent reference
This field creates a reference to another record. Useful in hierarchical data structures. This field allows the parent to implement List of Children type fields. In edit mode, this field displays as a black text box with text autocomplete, which means that the user must know at least some of the resume name of the parent they're looking for. Most times a simple drop down of options is preferred, in which case the field Lookup: Data item should be used. In most cases it is functionally identical to this field.
