Description
In the tag box of an entry, when a tag that is set to be a category has a parent that is also a category, it creates an entirely distinct category, which is can be seen as unintuitive and misses out on provided extra contextual information.
Solution
When a category tag has a parent that's also a category, it displays as a nested category underneath the parent. The amount of levels of nesting could potentially be limited if needed, such as for UI purposes or to discourage over-reliance on categories.
Mock up of how nested categories could look:
Alternatives
Currently, I just have a handful of tags that I consider to be subcategories, but are too specific to fit as unique categories. I set all children to use it as a disambiguation, displaying what "pseudo subcategory" they belong to. This feels a little clunky to do, especially given how natural nested categories would feel.
Yes this is what I'm struggling to keep my tags on tracks. I'm currently using FigJam to manage it for my inspiration and reference library. I was also thinking of tree view too.
Perhaps this could be a different issue, but I think tags in the 'Manage Tags' menu should be nested as well. Since tags can have multiple parents (which themselves may be in a parent-child relation), a child tag would need to be shown for any selected parent tag, but I think this would make that menu a lot more manageable when you have hundreds of tags
