Question about parent+child groups display
December 08, 2010, 08:30:29 am
For tags, when you create a child tag it shows logically in the contact edit screen (that is to say, it's nested under the parent tag), indicating the relationship intuitively. Groups don't behave this way that I can see. Is there a way to allow them to or a good reason not to?

I apologize if this is covered elsewhere; I took a look and couldn't find anything.

The reason is that no one coded it, or sponsored this feature. Not sure it qualify as a good reason, but that's the unfortunate one AFAIK ;)

Haha, certainly good enough for me. Haven't got the chance to poke around under the hood much yet but I'll probably give this one a shot eventually. Thanks for the quick reply!
