System Information
  • Strapi Version: 4.2.3
  • Operating System: Ubuntu
  • Database: Postgres
  • Node Version: v14.19.1
  • NPM Version: 8.13.2
  • Yarn Version: 1.21.1

With the deep nesting update I have been trying to get a third level component available to the cms. I am probably searching for the wrong keywords or overlooked a section in the documentation.

What I currently have is a Collection Type entry that requires a third level nested component i.e.

Collection Type Item

  • process
    • process item
      • sub process

I have manually added the component definition to the process-item.json schema:

"breakout_process": {
  "type": "dynamiczone",
  "components": [
    "process.sub-process"
  ]
}

With this addition the field is generated on the CMS but it is a disabled textfield with the default text “Not Supported”.

Is there a way to manually extend the form to allow for the third-level component to be selected?
The majority of the results I have come across are for output on the api end, none for the CMS side of the question.
