I want to select child pages of specific page (for ex: /pages/categories) * * * If i use query language, i cant select child pages (not shows “icon-angle-right”): ![FireShot%20Capture%20682%20-%20Samsung%20Galaxy%20A7%202018%2064%20GB%20(Samsung_%20-%20http___localhost_pixelshop_panel_p](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/getkirby/original/2X/0/0bec3de4911cfdc3c12ff68f3c4b451751597ceb.png) **Blueprint** ``` categories: label: Categories type: pages multiple: true min: 1 max: 5 required: true options: query placeholder: Select Categories query: site.find("categories").children ``` * * * If remove the query language, i can select but opening all pages. Second image is expected output. ![FireShot%20Capture%20680%20-%20Samsung%20Galaxy%20A7%202018%2064%20GB%20(Samsung_%20-%20http___localhost_pixelshop_panel_p](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/getkirby/original/2X/9/9c5449f5e6a0b82bf613ccc7270d43dbdd049b88.png) ![FireShot%20Capture%20681%20-%20Samsung%20Galaxy%20A7%202018%2064%20GB%20(Samsung_%20-%20http___localhost_pixelshop_panel_p](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/getkirby/original/2X/2/2aad6845076c033f647dc38ad37a3083a9e70ec9.png) **Blueprint:** ``` categories: label: Categories type: pages multiple: true min: 1 max: 5 required: true placeholder: Select Categories ``` Is it possible with query? ---

This is about following code snippet but i didnt understand about `v-if="model"`. Query doesn’t return a model? ``` ``` [Go to line on GitHub](https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/blob/80b69380e672565a849037232c9951d1e32774c8/panel/src/components/Dialogs/PagesDialog.vue#L50) ---

You can use `site.find("categories").index` instead of `children` to get the complete tree. The downside is that you get a flat collection, not a tree structure if you use a query. ---

Thanks. I was tried that but there are dozens categories. I need to show categories as tree. Why doesn’t working when use query? Isn’t possible that get pages as tree with query? ---

Unfortunately, the full page tree is no longer displayed (because of \[this line\](https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/blob/3.0.3/config/fields/pages.php#L152)), so it's no longer possible to select subpages.
