That’s [not possible](https://github.com/getkirby/panel/issues/510), as structure fields use modals and putting modals on top of modals is a UX disaster. Making nested structure fields possible will require designing a new/better user interface for them as Bastian wrote on GitHub.

A popular workaround to this problem is to create a special page type or “blueprint” that restricts the possible child pages’ templates. This way, you can add pseudo-children to the page that in turn contain structure fields.
Imagine a `content` folder structure like this:
```ini
/home/home.txt
/special-page/special.txt
/special-page/subpage-1/subpage-type-one.txt
/special-page/subpage-2/subpage-type-two.txt
/special-page/subpage-3/subpage-type-one.txt
/special-page/subpage-4/subpage-type-three.txt
```
The `special` template/blueprint [dictates which page templates can be used beneath it](http://getkirby.com/docs/panel/blueprints/subpages-settings#templates-for-subpages):
```auto
pages:
templates:
- subpage-type-one
- subpage-type-two
- subpage-type-three
```
The blueprints for each of the `subpage-type-*` pages would include what you’ve described as a “nested structure field,” but because these are discrete pages, now, they can be added as normal structure fields. You could very well only have a single sub-page type, but the idea here is that you can create a flexible system of nested data structures.

Thanks! That’s exactly I’ve done time ago with Kirby 1 😄, but it’s was a little confusing for client…

You’re right, I hope some day it be possible to have something similar to the WordPress ACF plugin…
