Hi Mathias Andersson,
Thank you for writing.
The ParentID property and relations collection are separate types of data binding. ParentID only makes sense in self-referencing data binding while the relations are only applicable when binding to separate related entities. Please refer to our online documentation on self referencing and related binding.
Write again if you have other questions.
Kind regards,
Victor
