I’m trying to map Airtable data to a Microsoft Word template.

Is there a way to nest a loop within another loop? I want data that would look something like this:  
Goal 1  
- Activity 1.1  
- Data  
- Activity 1.2  
- Data  
Goal 2  
- Activity 2.1  
- Data  
Etc.

I’m a complete newbie, so it’s hard to know if it’s my limitation or Make’s. I have the Activity table go from Airtable to an aggregator to group by Goal, but then when I try to map in the MS Word Template (batch of data) module, there’s no option to change the value type of a sub-item that’s falling under an loop-type item. See image for details.

That is correct. You cannot have nested loops.

That’s a great idea! I’m sure others would agree that this is a nice feature to have.

You can submit this suggestion to the Idea exchange, under [App improvement ideas](https://www.make.com/en/app-improvement-ideas/)

Don’t forget to search for it first, just in case someone already suggested it, so that you don’t end up creating a duplicate.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Dang! Well, thanks for answering. At least I can stop trying to make it work.
