I am trying to use nestable fields in view schemes. I found a related topic but I coudn't make it work.
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=44825.0

Let's say I want to use Genres in nestable view by using the expression "=Genre\[Genre]"
Genre
  |__ Metal
  |__ Pop
  |__ Rock
  ....
  |__ etc

I tried different ways but no result 
1. Created a new view scheme field "NestedGenre1" of type expression
2. Added a new database field "NestedGenre2" of type calculated
3. Added a new database field "NestedGenre3" of type "List semicolon delimited"

The result is always the same
Genre\Metal
Genre\Pop
Genre\Rock
...
etc

I tried even adding a '=' in beginning but still result was similar
=Genre\Metal
=Genre\Pop
=Genre\Rock
...
etc

Somewhere I read that calculated fields are not nestable. That means I have to maintain a separate DB field and having the same data twice?

Thank you,
Victor

I have the feeling that nestable option is only available in MC and not in MJ.
Can somebody confirm?
Where can be found differences between MC and MJ?

i actually think you are right. i just installed mj, in mc i use a lot of nesting, but it does not work that way in mj.
in mc nesting does not work with expressions, but typing for instance Europe\Belgium in the places tag would result in nesting
also when making your own library field genres with data type list (semicolon delimited).
but it does not work in mj that way.
