[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Sub-subseries custom usage?

[Daniel Michelson]

Hi Lev,

I don't believe there's any concept of a sub-subseries distinct from a
subseries in EAD or ArchivesSpace.  Nesting subseries is a very reasonable
approach to large complex collections, so I'd encourage you to consider
re-examining your display code, rather than changing the way you encode
data.

Hope that helps!

All the best,

Dan
