What does an ownership value of ‘Parent Customized’ on an object mean and how is it different from ‘Customized’? Does this value affect what version of an object is shown when testing? ---

Something that is `Parent Customized` means the customization exists in a parent tenant of the active tenant. If the parent tenant is the `_base` this usually indicates a bug or a problem - I think it’s safe to say there should never be customizations in `_base`. So if you ever see something as `Parent Customized` in a production environment that indicates a bug of some sort. In non-production development and release pipeline environments it’s a little more complicated, as there can be child tenants of non-base tenants. For example if tenant `xxx` has a customization of `SalesOrderHeader` app and `xxx_test` is one of its child test tenants, that customization of `SalesOrderHeader` will show up as `Parent Customized` in `xxx_test`.
