to match the parent I think goes with each profile?

That's fine and makes sense. How would I find out who the parent of a subprofile is?
In 1.6 I think this was displayed in the same part of the interface as
"<<inherit>>" is now, like on the profiles page of the web interface
it would show the parent as either a distribution or another profile. Now it only shows
the parent if it's a distribution and doesn't tell you who the parent is if
it's another profile.

The value for parent will name the profile, rather than being blank.
This is currently set in Cobbler as a "hidden field", which is a bug.
