Nested groups in timeline

[roboslone]

Hi! I'd like to use nested groups in timeline, is there a way to do so?

If it's not possible right now, could it be a feature?
I don't know if implementing infinite depth is necessary, I would personally be happy with max depth of 2 (one child and one parent). Probably setting any parent group as item's group should not be possible.

To clarify, this is what I want to see:

I like this! I need this feature too!
Are you working on this?

Are you working on this?

Sorry, I'm afraid I can't contribute to source code, my JS skills are awful :( I could help with ideas/testing or something like that, though.

[yotamberk]

I hope I can get to this feature soon... I have a lot on my plate right now... I'll do my best

@yotamberk, thank you so much!

@yotamberk There are already subgroups. I think I have seen a timeline were somebody achieved something like this with subgroups.

[yotamberk]

I've done something like that in subgroups, but still missing the functionality asked for in this feature

[roboslone]

@mojoaxel, I've missed subgroups in docs, I'll try that.
Do you think subgroups should be mentioned in "Groups" section in docs?

Also, as @yotamberk mentioned, subgroups don't completely solve this issue, since they aren't displayed as normal groups.

Please, make it collapsible, something like that:

@gerardp How do you expect the closed parent group to act? what Items should be shown in the parent? the sum of the items? all of the items of its children?

[gerardp]

@yotamberk
In my opinion, children are subtasks of the father. If I close the father only has to show the father's timeline, something similar to the gantt attached.

[yotamberk]

So basically the parent should be the sum of all children but in merged items, agreed?
