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.

      Hi, Dev

      Yes, it is for templates only. 

      Please read through this documentation for further details. 

      https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-2/develop/templates/page-templates-static.html

      Thanks,

      Vamsi

      https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-5/developing/components.html

            

      allowedChildren 

       String[]

      Path of a component that is allowed to be a child of this component.

        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.
