OData binding parent's entity property in XML view

Question

I have encountered a problem while binding my OData service to a ListItem in SAPUI5. To demonstrate my problem, let's consider this simple OData service:

Task: {
  ID: '100',
  Name: 'TaskName'
  Parent: {
    ID: '10',
    Name :'ParentName'
  }
}

I tried binding my controller to the service, but i can only retrieve the "ID" value of the text parameter, if i try to do a relative binding (in this case : to retrieve the Parent's ID), it doesn't seem to work..

<List items="{/Task}">
  <CustomListItem>
    <Button text="ID" tooltip="{Parent/ID}"/>
  </CustomListItem>
</List>

Does this answer your question? [How to make use of navigation property?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52483541/how-to-make-use-of-navigation-property) — Boghyon Hoffmann, Aug 21 '20 at 11:51
As suggested in the above linked answer, what you need is a navigation property with which you can do `tooltip="{ToParent/ID}"` whereas `"ToParent"` is the name of the navigation property to a single entity (not a collection). — Boghyon Hoffmann, Aug 21 '20 at 11:58

Task: [{
      ID : '100',
      Name :'TaskName'
      Parent :{
               ID :'10'
               Name :'ParentName'
              }
     }]

Try with <Button text="ID" tooltip="/Parent/ID"/>. Observe "/" before Parent node.
