Hi,
Will a repeatable area work inside another repeatable area?
Thanks
Hi,

Unfortunately, no.
Repeatable regions cannot be nested within themselves.
OK,
Any ideas?
I have a clonable page with car manufacturers (VW, Ford etc)
On each page I have a repeatable area which is a table that lists a model and trim levels for that model.
Each model may have a different number of trim levels, so would need additional rows in the table.
Also, each manuafacturer may have a different number of models. :)

If the number of models is not huge, consider nested_pages concept or Relations.

The problem is not the number of models, but the number of trim levels.

For eaxmple, I may have a page called "Audi" that has a repeatable table for each model, each trim level is a different row on the table
Model 1 has 4 trim levels
Model 2 has 8 trim levels
Model 3 has 2 trim levels.

Then I have a page "BMW" that has a different number of models, each with a different number of trim levels.
How about having a cloned page for each model? This way you can have repeatable for all trim levels for that particular model.

The problem with that is that there may be 40 models per page, so it would get very messy (I think?)

Do you mean 40 models per manufacturer? Isn't it better then to make it as nested-pages template? It would look neat - hierarchy of pages, where manufacturers are in root and sub-level are models.

I don't really want each model on a separate page, too many levels for the user to click through to get to.
I sent you a link by message of the type of thing I want to achieve,

Not seeing it, where?
