Updating a parent record from a child record

From the CQ doc:
The following code fragment example checks to see whether the record (entity) has any duplicates (children). If so, the hook edits each of the duplicates with the dupone action name, and sets the "action_info" field to indicate that the original (parent) record is tested. Note: We recommend you synchronize duplicate records with the original record by using an action notification hook. An action notification hook fires after a record has been successfully committed to the database.

Rational doesn't recommend using references or reference lists for child records.  The preferred method seems to be a action notification hook instead of trying to force it automatically through REFERENCE or REFERENCE LIST.
