How to make a hierarchical structure of folds/collapses in the text editor?

I want to format this:

# 1 =====
tibble()
## 1.1 ====
tibble()
### 1.1.1 ====
tibble()
# 2 =====
tibble()
## 2.1 ====
tibble()
### 2.1.1 ====
tibble()

If I collapse # 1 and # 2, I would like to get:

# 1 =====
# 2 =====

But instead I just get this:

# 1 =====
## 1.1 ====
tibble()
### 1.1.1 ====
tibble()
# 2 =====
## 2.1 ====
tibble()
### 2.1.1 ====
tibble()

Is it possible to have multiple "levels" of folding in rstudio?

My purpose is this: I have some long code with multiple folds inside and it has to be repeated 32 times. I would like to be able to fold all those 32 instances without losing the foldability of the inside contents of each of the 32 instances.

The IDE only provides one level of folding. – Phil Jan 09 '23 at 16:46
Thank you!, oh well that's how it is. – Victor Nielsen Jan 09 '23 at 16:48
You can offer the suggestion to the posit people on their github issues page, but who knows how long it would take them to incorporate if they do. – Phil Jan 09 '23 at 16:51
Perhaps this is proving me wrong? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37837095/code-folding-in-rstudio-creating-hierarchy-in-the-code – Phil Jan 09 '23 at 16:54
I saw that question, but it just shows you the hierachy in the side, it doesn't create a "sub fold" – Victor Nielsen Jan 09 '23 at 17:11

Yeah I wasn't sure if that was enough to cover your ask. I think the only avenue is to put in a feature request. – Phil Jan 09 '23 at 17:16
