  Position needs to be listed as an array [x,y]. So if you want to parent the X position to rotate, enter the code:
  temp = thisComp.layer(“layerName”).transform.rotation;
  [temp, y]
  where “y” is whatever the y position already was.

  temp = thisComp.layer("layerName").transform.rotation;
[temp, y]
