Multi Level & Tree Field provides to create Multi Level and Tree custom field and edit the data it contains.
It allows branches of unlimited depth under the newly created options tree. The data that is required to appear in each opened tree is created by following the relevant screens below.
Each option created represents a tree structure in itself.
Options Tree
You should create the topmost item from the Options Trees to define tree levels. There can be more than one Options Tree. The example below shows the addition of an Options Tree. Children's options can be managed by clicking on the edit button on the right side of each Options Tree.
Managing Sub-Options
There can be many levels of sub-options bound to an Options Tree. It is best to describe the definition of sub-options by example.
Level 1 options can be created by the Create Option button. Each option you create with this button will be on the first level.
Also, for the sub-options, use the plus sign next to the relevant parent option for which you are willing to create sub-options.
With the button next to the plus sign, you can edit your options, and enable, or disable them at any time.
Important Warning!
When you edit your options, it will not affect previously selected issues. Only new issues will reflect the updated options.
