Nesting Multiple Levels in Zendesk Drop-Down Fields
Can I nest multiple levels in a Zendesk drop-down field?
Yes, you can nest multiple levels in a Zendesk drop-down field. This is achieved by structuring your custom field options with categories and subcategories, separated by double colons (::). For instance, you can have a structure like 'Type of issue::Issue 1::Issue 1a'.
This allows for a hierarchical organization of options within a single drop-down field, making it easier to manage complex data sets. Testing within a ticket is recommended to ensure the nesting functions as expected.
