I have a tag group that is not displaying the tags when the parent tag is present (third-party-lens)
I should be seeing these tags:
I have this working with other tag groups that go one level deeper than this, but for some reason, these refuse to display, any ideas?
I will dig if related to dropdown component or not.
Yes itâs still happening, can you try going another level deep? This is four levels deep (for sale > lens > third party lens > fourth level that is not showing)
There is no concept of âfour levels deepâ in discourse. There is only category, subcategory, and then tags on either of those.
Iâm not talking about categories, but tags. I have four levels deep of parent/child tags.
LOL, well, thereâs your problem. Why would you do that?
Youâre adding Tag 1, Tag 2 (requires Tag 1), and Tag 3 (requires Tag 2), and are expecting Tag 4 (requires Tag 3) to appear?
I wonder if itâs possible we can restrict this from happening (checking if a tag has a parent before allowing it to be a parent?), because I suspect this isnât infinitely scalable⊠Tags were designed with only one parent level in mind.
Because it works very well for a classified categoryâŠ
Select tag âfor-saleâ (other options are âwantedâ, âtradeâ) > which gives you more options to select what youâre selling, in our case camera body, camera lens, tripod, etc. > from there letâs say you select camera lens, then you have the option to select the lens brand, if itâs say a Nikon lens then thatâs where it ends, but you can also select âthird party lensâ which has tags that apply to multiple lens brands like sigma, tokina, etc.
Correct. I suppose I can work around this, but yes if it doesnât work beyond three levels then there should be a way to not allow this to happen.
Iâm not sure tag hierarchy is intended to work beyond two levels. Can you confirm @neil?
Sorry, my first tag is not a parent, so yes it seems to be limited to two levels. Some way of preventing more than two levels would be great for new users, now I have to redo a ton of tags in a new way because I had no way of knowing and was excited about the possibility of these levels of granularity. Thanks!
Correct, this was not intended to be used as an arbitrarily deep hierarchy. Interesting that you got it to work for 3 levels, but I donât recommend it.
