Can't find this info anywhere, so I wanted to confirm the limits to the depth of hierarchy that og_subgroups can support.

It seems like the maximum depth is 4 levels or tiers. E.G.

-Dept
-- Course
---Course+Year
----Section
-----private-working-group <-- this isn't allowed?

When I try to make a subgroup that is more than three parent levels down, selecting the 4th hierarchical option just causes the selection tree to blank out and return to the top level. In other words, when trying to make a subgroup, I can select a hierarchy of Dept X, Course Y, CourseYear Z, but when I then select Section A from the next Parent drop-down, the whole selection array of drop-downs blanks out, only showing the top level.

What I want to know is if this is by design (i.e. I should try a work-around for my structure) or a bug related to my particular set-up. If it's by design, can this aspect be flagged for eventual inclusion in the documentation? Thanks.

This would be a bug with the module because you should be able to create as many hierarchy levels as you want. Try the patch submitted in this issue #1180788: Hierarchical Select does not work for node create when user does not have access from the selected parent to root of the tree and see if that helps you out.

To the best of my knowledge, the module won't prevent you from nested at any level. If anything, as bschilt said, it may be related to that bug with the HS submodule. I would recommend first disabling that module and seeing if the issue persists. If it doesn't, please close this.

Thanks
