Products Added To Child Collection Should Also Be Placed In Parent(s)

[poppabear8883]

I think that when adding a Product to a Child collection it should automatically be placed in the parent(s) ...

For example:

Say I have a Parent Collection Signs and that collection has a Child Collection Gaming & Streaming.

And I add a Product to the Child Collection Gaming & Streaming, but maybe I want to view all products from the parent and all of its children.

We can do this by adding the products to both collections, but I feel like this is such a common structure that maybe its a default behavior ?

What are your guys thoughts ?

I think that behaviour wouldn't be intuitive.

By adding a custom observer you should be able to achieve this.

But I would suggest this is more of a display issue. We have the data in the database, we just need a nice way to get all products from a category and its descendants.
