Limitations

  • The attribute which indicates the depth of artifacts must be a string
  • The extension is working only with number values
  • If the depth indicator attribute has a sequence 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 error message will appear and it must be corrected to 1 - 2 - 3 - 2 - (and then it's possible to assign a value 1 to the next artifact)
