Hi @Roger Lee ! Can you please share more about the problem you’re trying to solve for here? Why would you want to open a parent property if the child is booked? I wonder if perhaps configuring parent-child properties isn’t what you need for your use case, but I look forward to hearing more about what you’re trying to do so we can make some recommendations!

Hi Emily, I have a Mansion and Guest House. If the Mansion is booked, I want to block the guest house. However, if the GH is booked, I still want the Mansion to be able to take a reservation.

Hi Roger! Got it, I understand. In this case we’d recommend 3 properties, not two.
Parent - Mansion & Guest House (if this gets booked, both children are blocked)
Child - Mansion (if this gets booked, the parent is blocked but Guest House remains open)
Child - Guest House (if this gets booked, the parent is blocked but Mansion remains open)
