Component ought to link to Sub-components
I love the concept of a Component hierarchy being definable, but it doesn't seem behave in some ways I'd expect.
Let's say I have a "master" component, and 3 "sub components" (e.g. the master is "Alerts" and the subs are "E-mail alerts," "Pop-Ups," and "Validations"). Because this is defined as a hierarchy in Gemini, I expect that when I filter to see all projects for component "Alerts" that I'll see everything attached to either the master directly or any of the subs. Nope--I only get things attached directly to the master. I have to select the master AND all of the subs to see everything.
Related, when I graph by Component, I see each of the subs, and a section for "only attached to the master". Again, using the hierarchy would be awesome--I'd like to be able to graph just the "top level of the hierarchy" master components, breaking out into their subcomponents if I ask for that level of detail.
Not super annoying, and I can work around it, but confusing. It feels like the only way the "subcomponent" concept is used at all is whether to indent when displaying the list of components...
