Hello. Is there any solution to nesting a cms list in a cms list? For example a venue list with upcoming events for that venue. It needs to be handle constantly changing parent cms list and children so multiple cms list will not help? Thanks in advance.

Hamish this problem fascinates me, because I hate “it can’t be done” problems.
