Pretty new to fibery, but while trying to setup nested tasks, I’ve kept on hitting walls after walls While it’s possible to nest entities in a view, this is only possible if they are the highest element. Click up nests tasks perfectly fine in a kanban view, which is impossible (without some serio…

Got it, I think it is more like hierarchical list grouped by state on top. So far Fibery can’t group lists by state, but we are working on new tables/lists feature and I hope we will support it there. There are no workarounds that will help you to get exactly the same list so far. You can see neste…

I’ve managed to group them through sorting by “path”, and using the root task for grouping. But it’s not perfect [Screenshot_20230309-213309.png]
