Can I target a query based on a label of a parent page?

[benjaminbach]

Automation based off a page id or title is hardly automation, as a new rule must be made for each page. 

I'd like to have a rule, where, upon editing a page, if the parent page of that page has a label x, label x is applied to the page which was just edited, and if that page had label y, label y is removed.

the rule as written "validates", and a very similar one was offered by the AI bot, and it even "triggers" in the audit log, but it does not actually work. 

Is
`IF {{page.parent.label}} contains x` 
valid approach?

There is an enhancement request:

I’ve built an app to sync labels. Currently, it supports syncing labels to the parent page based on included pages.

In the future, I plan to add more dynamic behaviors, like two-way syncing, syncing across the page tree, and even turning folders into labels (that one's still a work in progress 😉).

You cannot access the attributes of the parent using smart values. In fact, the set of smart values is fairly limited.
