Subfolders for "List Folders"
I would like to be able to create subfolders (in lists) in order to get things a bit more organized.
For example:
EXTERNAL PROJECTS (folder)
--CLIENT1 (subfolder)
--CLIENT2 (subfolder)
----LIST FOR SOFTWARE (list)
-----TASK (tasks)
----LIST FOR HARDWARE (list)
-----TASK (tasks)

Tony Pham please implement this feature. We have over 40 clients. it is really hard to navigate through it all without folders.

Tony Pham Are you planning to ever have subfolders?
I would suggest you need at least 2 more hierarchy levels.

Even just one more level would be great so that I can separate Client folders from Company folders better.

I've been using swimlanes in ClickUp to get this level of granularity, so far it's the feature I miss the most in Upbase.

Using the system a bit more, there should be subfolders everywhere! Bookmarks, Tags, etc

Tony Pham, my upbase is becoming a real mess! Please have a look at this feature. As Guy says the more hierarchy the better!

Another alternative to this would be to have the option for users to change the status of a list using the tags and filters feature. For instance, right now I have 3 folders with multiple lists in each:
Active/Open projects
Project 1
Project 2
Pending Projects
Project 3
Closed projects
Project 4
Whenever a project is completed I move it to the "closed projects" folder but if there was a way to change the status of a list using tags and then filter them based on the status then I wouldn't necessary need nested folders.
It would also be great if you could create a project pipeline for the lists (like a kanban board) but I would understand if that's more time consuming for the dev team to build out
I hope that makes sense!

Any update on this at all? I have loved Upbase and tried to use it for my house painting business but without this feature I'm going to have to stop using it, or find something else. I have tried to reorganize upbase in different ways and it just doesn't work for me without subfolers for the lists. This is really disappointing because your app has so much potential otherwise!

Following up on this so others can upvote it. I had to stop using upbase because I had too many folders to go through. Would love to see the nested option added so I can go back to using it. Any idea how soon this can be implemented?
