Since its a reference field can you not get the value by dotwalking?

current.reference_field_name;

Hello,

 

There are some ambiguities in this requirement

1) Is the the child a list field so any record can have multiple child isn't it?

2) When you select a record and click on list action you can get all child record associated to those records do you want to show all the parent (assuming same record can be child of many records) ?

 

If all the assumptions above are correct, you can write a UI page and have evaluate tag to get child record of the selected record and do GlideRecord on all parents and display the results on UI page. This UI page can be invoked from UI action and make sure to select "
