Allowed parents/ allowed children are these properties applicable for component

allowedParents / allowedChildren restrictions just don't work for Components. Is it for template level only?

Can you please share the example where we can use allowchildren property at component level.

    AEM 6.2, 6.3, 6.4

    (doc: Custom Node Types )

    cq:Component

    • @prop allowedParents
      Regular expression patterns to determine the path(s) of components that are allowed as parent components.
    • @prop allowedChildren
      Regular expression patterns to determine the path(s) of components that are allowed as child components.

    About older versions I don't know, maybe don't support this.

    Also, I've tried to use these properties on AEM 6.4 project and it didn't work for components. So, maybe the documentation is wrong.

      Hi, Dev

      Yes, it is for templates only. 

      Please read through this documentation for further details.
