Hi,

Have you filled the default value with Macro correctly? Note this triangle icon:

edit property

All the Macro values should go here:

macro value

And once edited should look like this:

value

Also note, that the default value will work only for new pages/objects created and will not re-evaluate macros for existing objects if you edit them.

And finally, in your example it will take direct parent name. Here are the results from your example structure:

{% EditedObject.Parent.DocumentName |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%} = LocationFolder
