In etext template, how do i traverse to parent tag from a group by level

Hi all,

I have an XML hierarchy as below:

-DATA_DS

 - G_1

    -G_2

      -File_Fragment

        -VendorName

          -Employee_Details

               -EmpDetRec

                 - EnrollHistDet

                   -EnrollDet

                     -DepDet

                       -DepRec

In etext template, I have a grouped level on DepRec.

Now in the grouped level i want to access PersonNID present in EmpDetRec.

I am not able to traverse using ../../../../PersonNID

This traversal works if i do not use grouped level, but since grouped level is needed to avoid duplicates I cannot bypass it.

Please help how can i get the PersonNID.

Thank you,
