[Resolved] Nested Table

I want to know how one goes about creating a nested Grid with toolset. It must expand when I click on a row item on the grid to show more information about that particular row item. Here is an example hidden link.
Currently my grid is as follows hidden link, so how would I go about achieving the above?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Toolset support team,

The block you are looking for is called Accordion, a clickable field that could be collapsed or expanded.

You could use Bootstrap Accordion syntax but then you'd most want to use Classic Editors for the View, and maybe design the Content Templates that will display content in the accordions once unfolded with blocks, separately.

We have such cell for Layouts, https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/layouts/accordion-cell/, but Layouts is more intended for existing sites, not for new development, because it's not Gutenberg oriented.

If you want to use Gutenberg, there is a field called "Details" that also acts as an accordion, you could consider it as an option.

You can find examples of accordions created with Views (in classic mode) here https://toolset.com/forums/topic/split-displaying-terms-in-accordion-style-list-with-embedded-view/

Currently, to have a block with accordion features or maybe even the option to output a View loop directly as accordions, you'd have to request such feature from https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/

Best,

Thank you for your detailed feedback I appreciate it. Then another question I have is, what happens when toolset changes are saved when editing but do not reflect on the live version of the website? I have read many articles about Cache and making sure that "Cache View" is switched off but even with that at times chages just do not show on the live version of the website. I spend a significant amount of time re-doing views I have done simply because the changes being made are not reflecting. Here's an example, this is backend, when I am editing the page hidden link and this is the front end when checking to see if the edits have been made hidden link.

This has happened in many of the the views I have worked on. I have gone to the views themselves under,"Toolset>>Views" and started editing them directly and clearing Caching from there but that also seems to be not working out. I have also read many articles about this and have found that the support stuff from toolset ask to gain access and they resolve issues that way but that does little to help us know what was the issue. I also do not have any caching plugins installed at the moment cause I building locally and i also I know how caching can cause issues toolset views so I purposefully skipped their installation.

If you could please detail what causes such that would be great cause it's causing duplication of work and time being wasted.

I opted for a work around but the information shared was helpful cause it shed light on things I did not know about toolset.
