Hi @kalyani23,

Check if its empty or not 

if (!current.parent) {
current.parent = current.parent_activity.parent.toString();
}

Mark it as helpful and solution proposed if it serves your purpose.
Thanks,

Hello @kalyani23 - 

What specific value are you attempting to set to the parent field?

Could you please share more details about the specific value you intend to set in the parent field? This additional information will help me provide you with a more accurate solution.

Thanks,
