So I want to add an element (a Link) to an existing group (a MENU).
What I tried was to group the elements. But instead, a NEW GROUP was formed so that the hierarchy is now:
As you can see, the Link and the MENU are now on the same hierarchical level.
This is not what I wanted. Rather I wanted the MENU to be the parent of the Link.
How can I resolve this please? I’m sure it’s an easy fix, but I don’t know where to start.
Trying to see if I can help. Could you explain in a different way what you are trying to accomplish? There are a number of topics in this forum that deal with creating sub-menus items you can find with a search.
Or are you just talking about making a group inside a group inside another group? You can show and hide things using the “on hover” conditional; so that would give you a clue on how to create your own.
Thanks,
Rick
So what I need is only a group called MENU, that has different links in it.
Some of these links are already in it.
Now I tried making a new link within the group. But for some reason it was not made part of the MENU group.
So I tried adding it to the group. I selected the Link together with the MENU group and clicked “Group elements into a group”.
But that instead created a NEW GROUP. This now has 2 children: the Link and the MENU group.
What I need instead of this is that the Link is becoming a child of the MENU group. And the NEW GROUP can disappear/be deleted.
Create a group, expand it. Make it blue. Call it menu.
Make a group inside the blue group. Make it purple. Expand it but still smaller that the blue group.
Inside the the purple group create a link element, smaller than the group.
Alternatively:
Then problem is that when you right click on an element and select Group Element… It makes a group exactly the size of the element itself. So it’s hard to see what you did. Grab the expanding “ears” to expand it and see the new group.
Thank you, this is solved!
You are welcome although a minor thing beginners need to be aware of. Please mark my post as the solution, you will find a checkmark.
I am available for Bubble development or instructions. Please check my profile.

It’s annoying and messy to have an extra purple group. Really I just want my link to be part of the blue group. Is there no way to do this?
I have the very same problem. For some reason, an element on my index was left behind when group A was being created. Now I want to see if I can make that element a Group A"child".
Thank you. 2 years late and this helped me!
