Resolved! Thanks a lot Hans for your assistance.

It turned out the compilation failed with an error. I did not see the
error as I was lazily running the do-everything magic update_from_git.sh
script.

The error was complaining that stdpath_icon was not declared here (not in
a function) in lib/standard-path.c.

This little hack got me through the compilation - replacing (char **)
stdpath_icon with empty string "". I'm sure this is not a fix :D but
allowed me to proceed.

Once compiled and run, I was able to use the new functionality of
can-parent as described earlier.

Thanks a lot everyone, I can't wait for a release :o)
Kind regards, Rob

Confused me! I did mean the diagram file indeed, not a sheet file.

It did work with the file I modified myself as it was in essence the same.
