(A3 1.14)Use BIS_fnc_returnParents if a parents' collection of the given entry is needed.

[(configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "Land_Atm_02_F"),true ] call BIS_fnc_returnParents; //return: ["Land_Atm_02_F","House_Small_F","House_F","House","HouseBase","NonStrategic","Building","Static","All"]

Not all entries have parent, and please differ parents from path.

inheritsFrom (configFile >> "CfgUIColors" >> "IGUI" >> "Presets" >> "PresetA1" >> "Variables"); //return: Nothing
