Group focuses within a group focus?

[brendan.a.ford]

I have 3 group focuses as elements of another group focus, ie: the 3 GFs are nested inside.

Whenever I open the 3 GFs they close out the GF that they are nested in, thus losing their reference elements. ie: bubble is deciding to close the parent group focus because I’ve clicked on an area outside of it, despite the elementI’m clicking on being “of” the parent group focus.
As a workaround I created workflows for each each reference element to show the Parent GF every time the subsequent GF element is opened. This only works some of the time.

Does anyone have any other ideas as to how to keep the Parent GF open whenever I open or interact with any of the 3 GF elements?

Thanks

Not certain if this will work for your use case but suppose you have nested

A
B
C

where C is inside of B and B is inside of A

Have a workflow ‘when (the thing that causes C to be shown) is hovered, show group focus B and show group focus A’ (every time).

I don’t use group focus that much though so there could be another method I’m missing.

Unless you’re able to pin them to an invisible element what you’re trying to do is not worth the trouble. Why not use a pop up as the parent for the 3?

In my case I have 3 GFs (B, C and D) all nested in GF A.
B, C and D are all independent of one another/are not nested in each other - only nested in A.

@ihsanzainal84 I thought about a popup but the group focus is a better UX for my use-case. Unless there’s a way to make the popup have the same functionality in terms of:

• not center screen
• does not change background opacity
  etc.?

There could be, but from my experience with popups I didn’t see many ways to reconfigure/format them.

Have you tried floating groups? It sounds like what you need.

I’d only used floating groups for navbars and headers etc, but i just tried using one for this use case and it works perfectly!
Thanks for the help!
