I can't seem to find any examples of this, so I thought I'd try here. 

I want to build a product list that will have multiple levels (N number of levels). I would like to display it in several ways, but if I could start with a portal that would be great. Basically the list would look something like this:

Item1
Item2
   Item 2A
      Item 2A1
   Item 2B
Item3

The parent / child relationship in the DB is easy, but how can you do the indented display, etc...

Didn't finish the first time...

I ran across this video today, maybe it can get you started. Multiple Levels of dropdowns

Thanks, Lee. I learned some things from that video... wish he did N... number... that seems to be undoable in FM.

Thanks, Fran! That looks promising!

Hi Fran, thanks for jogging my memory. I had totally forgotten about the Hierarchy approach. 

Ryan, do this search in Google site:fmforums.com Hierarchy and you will see some others. some of this is really old, so the authors my have removed the files, buy I know of 6 other developers who did provide how-to and/or sample files.

Lee

Thank you very much, Lee.
