Hi CommCare Users,
I am designing a form in which I need to do two things:
I am having trouble accessing the case property for Id. I've tried
parent_id, case_id (I get the message that this is a reserved name),
@case_id, among others.
Has anyone had success in doing this previously? Can you share what the
case property syntax is for getting the case_id?
Thank you!

Hi Lexa,
I think there is an easier way to do this, but one thing you can do is use
the following expression directly in a form/calculate expression:
instance('commcaresession')/session/data/case_id
If you're using parent/child selection I think you should also be able to
use this for the parent:
instance('commcaresession')/session/data/parent_id
If you're not using parent/child selection I think you can use:
instance('casedb')/casedb/case[@case_id=instance('commcaresession')/session/data/case_id]/index/parent
Again, I think there may be easier ways to do this, but I believe these
should work.

- Load the case_id of a parent Case into a form
- Load the case_id of a case into a form
