Hi @YossiT!

Yes you can-- although I would recommend for you to query the parent item → subitem with the link column method.

This is because while you can use the subitem Id to find the subitem board Id, and then from there query the subitem groups to see their parent item Ids, this method is somewhat sporadic; sometimes the group name will include the parent item Id, and other times it will only include “topics.”

Not to worry-- this is something our developers are aware of and are implementing.

Hope this helps!
