- Description
See the attached word document for a step-by-step example of how
to recreate this issue.It is also unclear how to created nested categories by using
the "Batch Upload (CSV File)" feature.-----------------
When a category is more than one-level deep, the "Category" field type on Trackers will only display one level.Example:
Furniture Level 1
_|__
| | |
Tables Chairs Sofas Level 2
| |_ _|_
| | | | | |
legs top legs back cloth leather Level 3In the above example, if one selects the parent id corresponding
to "Level 2" in the above example, then the category field only
contains choices "Tables, Chairs, Sofas", rather than those choices,
plus the levels below them (i.e. "legs, top, legs, back, cloth, leather").It could be very useful to have all levels starting with a given "parent" level as part of the Category field.
