   • In this example, the project has two strips.
     • The top strip‘s Field ID is s1.
       • The container’s Field ID is e215, and the Parent ID is s1 (the same as the strip).
         • The text field in the container’s field ID is e216, and the Parent ID is e215 (the same as the container).
       • The button’s Fields ID is e48, and the Parent ID is s1 (the same as the strip).
     • The bottom strip’s Field ID is s210.
       • The autofit container’s Field ID is e212, and the Parent ID is s210 (the same as the strip).
       • The search input field’s Field ID is e214, and the Parent ID is e212 (the same as the autofit container).

A basic element (such as a strip) has no parent element and will not have a Parent ID.

The Field ID of the strip is the Parent ID of an element contained in the strip. The strip is the parent.

The Field ID of the container is the Parent ID of an element in the container. The container is the parent.

You can use any ID to search for an element.
