Thanks to the Umbraco team for introducing elements. I’ve been exploring how they could work for different content structures, and one use case I came across was managing blog categories and subcategories, or any type of filters with a parent-child combination.
My idea was to create a Blog Category element type and allow Blog Subcategory items to be created beneath each category. With regular document types, I’d configure the allowed child types and let editors manage the hierarchy in the content tree. I couldn’t find an equivalent option for element types.
Is support for child nodes under elements being considered? If there’s already a recommended way to model categories and subcategories using elements, I’d be interested to hear how others are doing it.
