Just wondering if it's possible to specify to use a Custom Field Group for pages that have a parent page selected (aka a child page).

Thanks!

No, that's not a condition that can be specified in the Custom Field Group display settings.

You would need a workaround that involves one of the possible options in the display settings.

So you could, for example, add a checkbox custom field for the posts you want the field group to appear on, use that as a display condition for the field group, and maybe use the save_post hook to automatically set that checkbox according to whether the page as parent or not.
