Allowed parents/ allowed children are these properties applicable for component

[devj81705801]

allowedParents / allowedChildren restrictions just don't work for #cq5 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.

Thanks,

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.
