Sub decks on iOS app

AnkiMobile (iPhone/iPad) Help
1

Hi, There has already been a discussion about this on the forum but this issue has not been resolved. How do you add a subdeck to an EXISTING deck on the anki app. when you type in parentdeck::subdeck1 it creates a whole new parent deck even if the letters are the exact same (i.e, parenteck). someone pls help, thanks

If you have a deck called My First Deck, then creating a deck called My First Deck::My First Subdeck will create a subdeck of My First Deck called My First Subdeck.
If you fail to do that, could you provide the minimal steps that lead you to failing this operation?

Hi, I’ve tried that. But what anki does on the iOS app is that it creates a new deck called ‘my first deck’ and creates a sub deck under it called ‘my first subdeck’, even though i already have a deck named ‘my first deck’. Hope you are able to understand this issue and help me resolve it… or please add the feature where u can just drag and drop a deck under another deck to make it a sub deck, that’d be really helpful. Thanks

So, you end up with two decks with the same name?

Yessir

Which does contain the subdeck?
BTW, I think you can transform a deck into a subdeck by drag-and-drop.

That should not be possible - if you’re seeing two top-level decks that appear to be identical, they likely differ in some subtle way like a space character in one of them. If you’re sure they’re identical, could you please attach a screenshot of what you’re seeing?
