## Description

Hi there I’m looking for a solution to be able to filter on a nested list. so want to show brands with a nested list of models. on the top of the page a user should be able to filter on the type of the model. the nest part works fine. but it seems that filtering is an issue. there are examples for attributes v1 but not for v2. how does it work in v2?

Hey @dennis! Just to clarify, are you looking to filter the content inside the nested list itself, or do you want to use the nested tags as category fields to filter the main list?

If it’s the second case (using the nested list as categories), you’ll just need to set `fs-list-field="IDENTIFIER"` on the nested elements, the same way it worked in v1.

If that doesn’t solve it, feel free to share your HTML structure or a quick Loom so we can see what might be missing.

And of course, @Support-Luis or @Support-Pedro can jump in with more specific code help if needed!
