Getting published ids from parent items in the publish tree - multipublish2

[philip.scadding]

Hi Sam

Here are some methods on the PublishItem that I think will help you achieve what you are after.

• Make sure the plugin running in the parent item store’s it’s result to the properties of the item so that you can retrieve the value in your downstream publish plugin - https://developer.shotgunsoftware.com/tk-multi-publish2/api.html#tk_multi_publish2.api.PublishItem.properties

• This three method should help you when navigating the item hierarchy. The parent property is the one that will most likely be needed, but I thought it was worth mentioning the other two.

Does that help?

Thanks
