File > Download parent ways and relations

Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+D

A node can be part of a way. The way is then called a parent way of the node. A relation refers to nodes, ways, and other relations and from the point of view of these child objects the relation is called a parent relation.

This action downloads parent ways and parent relations for the currently selected objects. New objects don't have parent objects which could be downloaded from the server. They are therefore skipped if they are part of the current selection.
