Multi-level Linked Assets

[kaina280]

Is this a bad idea for me to do?

I did a test, putting an item in a box and then putting that box in another box.  It worked, but am I possibly causing any problems by doing this?

In the Assets table, it looks like the Parent asset is all that's recorded, so it seems OK.

each item can only have a single parent.  So I suppose if the parent is a "box" that should be ok.

I believe an item can be either a parent or a child, but not both, if memory serves me. It seems like I tried this long ago, but not certain of the result. If true, that would mean there's only 1 layer of parent-child relationships that the app can track (no grandparents or grandchildren, etc.). Correct me if I've got that wrong.

How do you set up a report to show the linked assets? I can't find which fields to use. Has anyone created such a report
