Can you put a popover in a popover?

[CharleyAK]

I'm trying to add a popover onto a popover on an iOS layout. On the original popover, the user has buttons they can choose from. Some users, especially new ones, may need an explanation as to what a button does. I want to avoid clutter for experienced users, so instead of providing an explanation directly on the original popover, I want to add a "?" button that opens a 2nd a popover that provides an explanation. The 2nd popover that I have added onto the original one does not open, but does open when I move it off of the popover.

Is it just not possible to do this? If so, does anyone have a better idea? Thank you!

I am using FileMaker Pro 18 Advanced

I have provided screenshots of:

1) the popover that appears on the original popover and

2) the second popover working as intended when I move it off of the original popover.

No, you cannot nest popovers. Perhaps have the continue button create a new card window?

Even with independent popovers, opening one closes the other.

Why not use the feature intended specifically for your stated purpose of providing explanation - tooltip. It's easy to set up and it works in a popover, too.
