If you are trying to create a Dropdown in EditGrid, you will need to set it similary:

GetChoiceSet is from Entity table where you create it when setting ParentAccount to be an Choice Set:

It will ask you to select Choice Set or Create a new one. New one is the one that I have as GetChoiceSet(“NameOfNewChoiceSet”). “DisplayName” is default from that new choice set. “Status” is my column name in Entity, in your case “ParentAccount”.

If you are still stuck, there are some good videos on Youtube, look for Dropdown and UiPath.
