18959	JOSM should store and use the information that parents were downloaded	skyper	team	"Follow up from #18528, see GerdP in [ticket:18528#comment:19 comment 19].

Best would be to store this information in a new flag.

* Currently, JOSM does not store information that parent objects where downloaded which can lead to additional traffic.
* There a many situations where the download area is used to determine if all parents of an object have been downloaded which is not the best solution in many situations.

I know this is quite some work and might need some time. Thanks in advance.

=== Use case / Example ===
* download parents
* all split and combine way actions
* moving objects, see #10999 for one example.
* validator test with parents involved
* to be continued"	enhancement	closed	normal		Core		wontfix	parents download information
