How to get the parent dissector information?

I wish to conditionally call col_set_str or col_append_str depends on the parent dissector information. But I was stuck by getting the parent dissector information. Anyone could help me to do this? Thanks!

This is supposed to be handled the other way around. The parent sets the column non-writable, using col_set_writable(), then calls the subdissector, then restores the previous writable state of the column.

This way does not solve my problem. So I just let it be since not a big problem for me. Thanks anyway!
