FR - Add Breadcrumbs and/or Parent Column to Structure Search/Filter

[jacobgraf]

I am having a UI/UX issue with Structure sections. This mainly has to do with searching and filtering. My issue is that I have multiple entries that have the same name, but that fall under different parents in the Structure section. (e.g. https://cln.sh/GfPkVMGVrbCSjcq1ZCdq) When I search, or filter entries (within an entries field condition) I have no idea what entry is what, because I can't see the breadcrumb. In my case, I really need to know what parent each entry falls under. (e.g. https://cln.sh/rkp2lsWTC8wwVJQZgJXt)

I know there isn't native functionality to fix this (unless you have a clever work-around?), but I believe this could be fixed by adding a "Parent" and/or "Breadcrumb" option to the search/filter view settings so I could easily see which entry is which. (e.g. https://cln.sh/M7JpMX8jW4DdfqF9D4H6)

Any help you can give me would be appreciated. As-is, I need to randomly pick one, and then open it within the entry to see which one it is and it's a huge PITA.

Thanks!

Just added a new “Parent” column option to Entry and Category indexes for Craft 4.4, which can be added via the “View” menu whenever needed. (c094566)

Update: Also added a new “Ancestors” column option as well. (7fafcf9)

Awesome! Thanks! This is a great start but it probably won't solve the case where my 2nd level Structure entries are the same and I need to ultimately know what the first level is.

This could be solved 2 ways. A breadcrumb view field or a Top Level Parent view option.

In my opinion, adding a Breadcrumb view option that would be best.

Another elegant solution would simply be to add a full structure breadcrumb hover text over the Entry link.

Hope the feedback helps!

Just added a new “Ancestors” column as well, which should fully resolve this. (Updated the original post with a screenshot.)
