I've just installed umbraco v 7.4.3 for a new project I'm working on. I have created some nested document types that I would like to use as compositions for different document type. Currently just the first level document types (no nested) are visible as compositions? Is it a bug or how I can enable this functionality?
unfortunately you can't use doctypes that nested as a composition for another document type.
if you want things nested for organisational purposes, then you can create folders, and put doctypes in those - Doc types in folders can be used a compositions.
It's not a bug, it's designed to work this way. The way umbraco manages it, nesting is handled like a composition and to stop it getting all muddled umbraco doesn't let you use a type that has compositions as a composition.
Thanks for your answer. I have realised just after posting that that is the way doc types are meant to work. I have figure out a way to do what I was trying with inheritance in compositions. I will say my solution is case there are others that will look after inheritance with doc types for compositions
I have created 2 doc type with the same tab name.
If I need properties from both I'll add both as composition or just one depending on the case.

Hi Umbraco community,
I've just installed umbraco v 7.4.3 for a new project I'm working on. I have created some nested document types that I would like to use as compositions for different document type.

Many thanks, Ligia
