How to read value of parent element in child of sitecore

Is there a way to get the value of the parent of the current context of the child in the sitecore.

I can access the default values, but not the actual set value of the field in the current context.

Please let me know if this can be achieved.

Yes, from the current context, you can get the parent (and all of its fields) like this:

MultilistField parentMultilistField = Sitecore.Context.Item.Parent.Fields[...];
var parentTitle = Sitecore.Context.Item.Parent["Title"];

... or go multiple levels with recursion or even a Sitecore query:



var parentItem = Sitecore.Context.Item.Axes.Select.SelectSingleItem("./ancestor-or-self::*[@@templatekey = 'sometemplate']");

If you are using a glass map, you can decorate your properties with the [SitecoreParent] or [SitecoreQuery (...)] attribute, for example:

[SitecoreParent]
public virtual MyBaseItem Parent { get; set; }

[SitecoreQuery("./ancestor-or-self::*[@@templatekey='sometemplate']", IsRelative = true)]
public virtual MyBaseItem RootItem { get; set; }
