    For the TreeView control, is it possible to have a data structure where the sub-items belong to an element other than one called "items"? For example, if I have the following structure:

    $("#treeView").kendoTreeView({
         dataSource: [ { category: "A", nodes: [{name:"Node 1"}, {name:"Node 2"}]} ]
    });


    I know I can use a template for the "category" element at the top level, but I'm not sure how I can specify that the sub-items are in the "nodes" element.

    <script id="treeview-template" type="text/kendo-ui-template">
        # if (item.category) { #
        #= item.category #
        # } #
       // How do I now tell it to render the "nodes" element as children to the category element?
    </script>

    Hello Andre,

    This is currently not supported. The JSON should contain "items". This will be addressed once we have a true hierarchical DataSource and the treeview binds to it.

    All the best,
