xpath syntax from within the elements repository

[David]

I am trying to locate the parent of the current node using XPath (or any other method).  In my example, the leaf node is easily identifiable, but I am trying to locate the parent "td" node - nothing seems to work:
    ..
    //..
    ../td

The main group of the locator locates the leaf node, then I try to add a child group filter and specify the XPath thinking that the current context will be the node I located above (see attached image).

Any suggestions?

Well, I was able to get something done with a coded step:

Pages.PegaDesignerStudio.CloseSpan.Parent<HtmlTableCell>().MouseClick();

I don't love it, as it makes the test hard to read, but I am unblocked.  Seems like this might be a common scenario, will enter an enhancement request.

Hi David,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I've filed feature request for this behavior. You can follow its progress and vote for its inclusion in future versions of Test Studio at the follow link: Public URL
