====IncludeParents====

The **objects/value** endpoint supports the non-standard **includeParents** parameter in [[i3x:Welcome|i3X]].

This returns additional value metadata in the response to the value call. 

Specifically, it adds **object** and **schema** elements that allow you to get the object name and payload format information in a single request, rather than having to make multiple requests to i3X endpoints.

This option is //only available for the value function// - it has no effect on subscriptions or history.

It changes your returned values from this...

<code javascript>
"result": {
     "value": "34.60272070924962",
     "quality": "GOOD",
     "timestamp": "2026-04-22T05:54:52"
}
</code>

to this...

<code javascript>
"result": {
     "value": "34.60272070924962",
     "quality": "GOOD",
     "timestamp": "2026-04-22T05:54:52",
     "object": {
         "elementId": "71:25",
         "displayName": "Bridle #2 Roller 2 Current - Percentage",
         "typeElementId": "/property/25",
         "namespaceUri": "/s/pl",
         "isComposition": true,
         "parentId": "69",
         "engunit": "%"
      },
     "schema": {
          "type": "decimal"
     }
}
</code>

This parameter can be combined with [[includeMetadata]].
