Recieving 'Importing to a matrix in a matrix isn't yet supported' message when trying to import data to nested data in entry #1459

Description

We are looking to streamline our current implementation of Craft to Craft 5 which would require the use of the feed-me plugin to migrate to a 'fresh' install of craft v5. Unfortunately, it appears that the matrix-in-matrix feasibility we would like to use is not available in feed-me at the depth we need.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Craft v5 with no config files
  2. install the feed-me plugin
  3. Create the desired nested structure, starting with the section (SS of graphQL shown for ease of readability): Screenshot 2024-06-03 at 7 18 29 AM
  4. setup a feed test run, using a simple POC feed https://ace2vis-feedme-migration.s3.amazonaws.com/import-test.json
  5. Set the feed to read JSON, and to begin entryList level, and click save & continue
  6. When I get to the part of the form where I would map components to specific areas of the json, I see this: Screenshot 2024-05-30 at 3 33 13 PM

Additional info

From the appearance of the messaging, it appears that feed-me has not yet implemented recursion within the matrix entryType field. While not a 'bug' per see, we are very interested in finding out when such behavior is expected to be released.

Is there any update on this? We really want to use Craft 5 but if the biggest tool can't help us migrate to it that certainly puts a slight damper on those plans. Hopefully this is in the plans for FeedMe.

Thanks gang!

Hi, both! Thanks for getting in touch. Matrix-in-matrix is not yet supported (hence the message you’re seeing), but it is on our radar. We can’t give any estimates of when it will happen just yet.
