    How many levels does your parent/child account structure have maximally?

    By design you cant.

    The solution is the following:

    - Add to account a new attribute "Ancestor Account"

    - Create a plugin which, when the "Parent account" change, scale up the Parent account until the last selected account has not Parent Account

    - Set ancestor account with this account

    - Filter by ancestor

    Hope it helps!

    Let us know

    I build a group structure with 400 Accounts using the field "parent account"

    The name of the companies are different and classification also, only the "parent account" is the bracket.

    But i need a view that shows all 400 account, but i don`t know how to work with advanced view here.

    Thank you
