Hi,

this question may have a simple solution, but unfortunately I was not able to solve it by looking at the source code of DBField.

I have a custom DBField, actually inherited from Text, so let's define it for example like this:

class CustomField extends Text
{
    // ...
    public function getValue()
    {
        //Some custom logic to retrieve the value
    }
    // ...
}

Is there any way for me to find out which DataObject owns this particular field? I would need this information in the getValue() method. Something like $this->owner like we are able to use in Extensions or something different?

Thanks! :)
