Google Error: Invalid object type for field "<parent_node>"

[Alpha1]

Affected version

2.3.5

Invalid object type for field "<parent_node>"
Items with this issue are invalid. Invalid items are not eligible for Google Search's rich results

I have inspected the resources that Google lists and they all have a XFRM category they are in.
Its unclear to me why this error comes up.

I’m seeing the same thing on my side and on xenforo.com as well. If you open any XenForo resource page with star ratings, you’ll see the same error. I noticed it in the google console today.

I temporarily did this in the template xfrm_resource_view
