Previous Parent Property for Moved Nodes

A Previous Parent property in the CoreStats namespace is available to track and identify the previous parent for nodes that are moved to another parent in a hierarchy viewpoint.  When a node is moved via a request, the Previous Parent property is updated to reflect the parent that it was moved from.  This property is required for use with Ownership approval policies where the previous owner needs to approve nodes that were moved.  The Previous Parent property can also be utilized in derived properties, custom validations, and other expressions, as well as be output for external consumption by viewpoint extracts.  The CoreStats.Previous Parent property must be separately added to the node types where previous parent information is needed.

Business Benefit: Information about where nodes were previously located in hierarchies can be viewed by users, leveraged by business rules, and distributed to consuming applications where necessary.
