Parents of some admin not the same as is shows up on the site

For some of the data that I downloaded as administrative only, the parents of which is the non-administrative boundary, which is not the administrative boundary which shows up on the website. For Example, here are the parents of -7449:

{
osm_id: -7449,
name: 'Hauts-de-Seine',
name_en: null,
boundary: 'administrative',
admin_level: 6,
parents: [ -5833187, -8649, -16467322 ]
}

-16467322 here refers to the non-administrative Metropolitan France (Landmass), where as on the website it has -1403916 as the parent in the inheritance tree, which is the administrative boundary. Is there a possible way to download data such that the administrative boundary shows up as the parent in the properties?

As I was afraid for this has taken quite some time to fix. It's not that the fix was hard, we just haven't had the resources.

Anyway, we now have a fix in our development environment. I am hoping for a release in a few days. The fix is to always include two parent fields in the output data. A `parents` and a `parents_administrative`.

In the website, if I set boundaries as administrative only on the sidebars, the inheritance is as follows:

France (-2202162)

-.

 -.

-Metropolitan France (-1403916)

   -Ile-de-France(-8649)

     -Hauts-de-Seine (-7449)

I'm wondering if there is a way so that I can get the parents of -7449 as above when I download the data.

This sounds like a bug. I will have to investigate it.

The download form should probably also default to having the Boundary option set to the same as the tree uses. I have brought these things up with the one who wrote the code.

Great, how long roughly would it take to fix this?

We can not really give an ETA. There is normally no active development of the site, though we do maintain it. We will start by discussing how we want this to turn out, then find the resources to change it. It's not very likely to happen this week. Hopefully this year (it's only ~5 weeks left after all), but it could take months.
