Introduce a feature in the Portfolio widget that allows for multiple layers of subcategories to enhance filtering options.

**Use Case:**  
For example, if presenting clothing items:

**First Layer** (Categories): Shirts, Pants, Jackets  
**Second Layer** (Subcategories): for Pants - short, long  
**Third Layer** (further Subcategories): for Long Pants - blue, black, etc.

This will allow users to navigate through:

**Type of Clothing** : Pants  
**Length** : Long  
**Color** : Blue

**Additional Filtering:**

Enable an option to skip layers, allowing users to filter by broader categories, for instance:

Pants → All → Blue (combining both short and long pants).

I would like to have subcategories in category. For example, I am web designer, logo designer  
so

1)IT: Landing website, Mobile application, Application web, UI/UX  
2) Design: Logo, Branding, Stickers, Posters  
3) Digital marketing: SEO, Social Media branding

So (IT,Design, Digital marketing) are category  
and (Landing website, Mobile application, Application web, UI/UX) are subcategory for IT design

Share your use case and provide as many details to support your idea as possible. Thank you! 😊Is it possible to have Child Categories as this way we can filter a Range (Parent) and Color (Child) This is useful ,for large portfolios.

Hi there, @Staff_Northlake 👋

At the moment, subcategories are not supported in our app. We already have a request for this feature, and I’ve merged your comment with it 🙂

Thank you so much for the feedback!
