The Find Parent By Name node attempts to find a slot which is a parent of the Instance input slot which has a name matching the input Name.
Usage
The MatchSubstring input determines whether slots whose names contain the input Name will be considered valid matches. True by default.
The SearchDepth input determines how many levels of the slot hierarchy the node will search for parent slots. 0 by default (i.e. searches only the Instance slot's direct parent).
The IgnoreCase input determines whether slot names which do not exactly match the upper/lower case of the Name input will be considered valid. True by default.
The FoundParent output is the first slot found whose name matches the input Name. Output is null if no valid match is found.
The search proceeds from the Instance input slot's direct parent to higher levels if allowed by the SearchDepth input. A SearchDepth of 0 (default) searches only the Instance input slot's direct parent, a depth of 1 allows searching of the Instance slot's parent's parent etc. A SearchDepth value of -1 allows searching to unlimited depth.
