Here is a brief answer: Use prePersist / preUpdate methods in ParentAdmin.php class.
// in the ParentAdmin class
Yes indeed, the sonata admin class allows for prePersist and preUpdate calls that allows us to set the promotion for the rule before persisting. Of course don’t forget to declare your admin classes as services in your configs. Other than that, I hope that this helps somebody out there.

public function prePersist($promotion)
{
foreach ($promotion->getRules() as $rule) {
$rule->setPromotion($promotion);
}
}
public function preUpdate($promotion)
{
foreach ($promotion->getRules() as $rule) {
$rule->setPromotion($promotion);
}
$promotion->setRules($promotion->getRules());
}
