When possible Blueprint will create multiple selectors per UI element to increase the possibility of a matches.
Parent Attributes
In UiPath, parent attributes are not in fact parent attribute, they are ancestor attributes. For example, when a selector has parentName="container" this means that the first ancestor to have a name, is container. This ancestor is not necessarily the parent. Furthermore, if a selector has multiple parent attributes, for example parentclass and parentid, those attributes do not necessarily reference the same ancestor.
Anchors
Anchors are supported using the :has() psuedo selector in PAD.

%BasePath%
In UiPath, relative file or folder paths are relative to the main xaml file. In PAD, relative file or folder paths are relative to PAD installation folder.
Set %BasePath% where specific project files will be located after migration
%SPECIAL_FOLDER_X%
Possible Special Folders:
ApplicationData, CommonApplicationData, LocalApplicationData, Cookies, Favorites, History, InternetCache, Programs, MyMusic, MyPictures, Recent, SendTo, StartMenu, Startup, System, Templates, DesktopDirectory, Personal, ProgramFiles, CommonProgramFiles
Set %SPECIAL_FOLDER_X% where specific folder will be located after migration
