How to create a Tree view in Universal?

Struggling to even get a tree to shape no matter the options I set, I hope someone could advice me how to get this test scenario to work.

I have a view that has the following columns:

  • parent_id
  • child_id
  • grand_child_id

All columns make the PK.

In an example this is the data (with lookups):
 

 

I want to see something like (structure example, formatting is just for clarity):
Parent A
--Child A
----Grand child A
----Grand child B
--Child C
----Grand child C
Parent B
--Child D
----Grand child D
----Grand child E

I have changed the “Tree” settings under “Subject”. I have tried all combinations at “Tree” under “Component”. Chose different options for “Sort” with and without “Group until”.

The screen type has the “Tree” as its component.

All it ever shows is:
 


Platform 2026.2

I have compared it to an older product that still has the Windows GUI where a tree does work, but to no avail.

What do I need to set to get the result as desired?
