Hi Chip, I haven't tested it myself but your last line of code using List item parent doesn't look right. According to the documentation the format is:
List item parent ( {* ;} list ; itemRef | * ) -> Function result It looks like your format is following the GET LIST ITEM format: GET LIST ITEM ( {* ;} list ; itemPos | * ; itemRef ; itemText {; sublist ; expanded} ) Are you using the wrong command?
