Commcare-export tool: Getting parent case id

Users
1

Hello all,

So I'm using the commcare-export tool and trying to get the case's parent
case id, but I have no idea how to get it. I have tried multiple ways so far

parent_case_id
parent_case_id
parent_case_id1 parent.parent_case_id
parent_case_id2 properties.parent_case_id
parent_case_id3 properties.parent.parent_case_id
parent_case_id4 parent_case.parent_case_id
parent_case_id5 properties.parent_case.parent_case_id
parent_case_id6 parent_cases.parent_case_id
parent_case_id7 parent_cases.properties.parent_case_id
parent_case_id8 properties.parent_cases.id
parent_case_id9 properties.parent_cases.parent_case_id
parent_case_id10 parent.case_id
parent_case_id11 properties.parent.case_id
None of these exported any kind of id. Any idea what I should be using?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Johann

Thanks for you question. Here are the fields you that you should use:

Parent case ID indices.parent.case_id
Parent case type indices.parent.case_type
I've also updated the documentation:
