nestable fields: wow! + tips
rjm:
--- Quote from: datdude on January 30, 2008, 06:55:33 pm ---When I follow the example of the first tip, the pane creates the nested levels, but does not pick up the data i.e. it just shows one field of '[Genre]' and the nested '[Styles]'
Should I set the main Subject field to a different data type?

Sorry, can't visualize what you are saying. Can you type little example?
datdude:
No, but I can't even get that to work.
Right now it just shows
Genre
[Genre]
I would like it to show:
Rock
Alternative
Punk
etc...

I should have been clearer in my tips. Do not enter the quotes around my example expressions. To achieve what you want, select all your files and fill Subject with "=Genre\[Genre]\[Style]" or "=[Genre]\[Style]" if you do not want the Genre header.
datdude:
Ok here is something that is confusing, you say to make a new field, but of what data type? Then you say to enter in an expression as its value, I selected all my files and did that in the Tag AW and I get the results I posted above. It's like it doesn't understand that I am referring to specific fields and just treats it as a string, so maybe I am not entering in the expression in the right spot?
datdude:
I get the same results without the quotes. It does nest though, just doesn't populate with the data! Very strange...
