How do I create a hierarchy? #807

First, thank you for the great tool!

In 3.x there was an option to create a hierarchy field (a tree, basically, with options like number of min/max leaves). How do I do it now?

This actually was the only reason I was using the tool 😭 I have not found similar feature in other tools - maybe somebody could recommend? Was this feature removed in 4.x, or I am missing something? Please bring it back, if so 🙏

Hey @nbelyh, I'm afraid that one was removed. It was an odd outlier & although I can see if as being useful, it was hardly used and was very complicated to re-implement, so I decided to remove it for now. Very sorry about that!

I'll definitely keep this in mind for re-adding though.

Thank you for quick response. Yes, it's tricky to implement, and most other fake data generation tools don't provide it, but that's why it was so useful 😅 Hope to see it coming back in the future. Could you suggest some alternative for the random hierarchy generation for now? (like, a random family tree, or random organization structure)
