Multi-parent

Multi-parent can be set in general object parameters and allows an object along with its set state changed conditions, properties, etc. to be displayed in different branches of its parents and to influence on the parents.

Due to multiparent it is possible to make one object, for instance, monitoring agent, available for several users with limited object access.

An object itself and its child objects cannot be selected as parents of the object.

The parent objects are displayed in object parameters in order of increasing their ID (creation time)

Object lists, available when

object selection during adding graph,
object selection during adding widget,
search and bulk operations,
object selection for reference creation,
parent object selection,
monitoring agent selection,

display an object with multi-parent once. The parent object with the least ID amidst available to the current user is specified as parent in the path to the object.

When following a reference to an object with multi-parent the user will be in the part of object tree with the parent with the least ID amidst available ones.
