I was wrong about the union of parent types not working for parent parser, it does.(I had missed some)
It seems that I had not read carefully the caveats about block masks in the doc : https://solr.apache.org/guide/8_8/other-parsers.html#block-mask So the parents block mask has to match all docs that can be parents, and the documents not matching it may be considered as children !! This is really inconvenient, this binary divide. So in my case, if I don't include TR as parent type, it may be treated as a child type, and then its child IN docs must be getting returned in the results, (tho I don't understand why a subset and not all) So when using the block join parsers, all doc types that cud be parents of the docs identified by the child condition have to be specified in the block mask, else they may get marked as children. At least that is my understanding.

So it seems to be a issue with the block join query parser. I found a weird solution at the link below, which says union of all parent types has to be used https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37905553/are-solr-nested-objects-broken-for-multilevel-nesting so if I include TR in the mask : type:PTASC AND id:IN* AND {!child of='type:(PB TR)'}type:PB, then it returns 0 rows as expected. Can somebody explain why this happens ? And whether there is a better way to address this ?
