Layer Name of Parent of Nested obj

[ktkoh]

I am trying to retrieve the layer name of the parent of the selected nested obj using

cur_layer_name = obj.parent.layer.name

This code returns "Layer0" which is the active layer but not the (Visibility) layer returned when the enity info for the parent is checked "A02-Drawer_3x20"
If I select the drawer and open it for editing then try to make layer "A02-Drawer_3x20" not visible I get the message that I cannot hide the layer the active component is on.
