Tabs within tabs
Hello!
I'm looking for the simplest way to build a "tabs within tabs" slide like the one attached. In the past, we have done this with variables controlling visited states (each layer had its own set of sub-tab buttons). This works fine, but involves a lot of triggers and potentially unique variables in a file. We can keep doing that, but I'd like to crowdsource and see if anyone is doing this in a more elegant way.
I started experimenting with keeping sub-tab buttons on one layer and using the built-in states, but those states are working as described :) which probably means it isn't ideal for us. When someone clicks 1-A, 1-B, and 1-C, then clicks tab 2, then clicks back to tab 1, we'd like all three of the sub-tabs to be in their visited state and the content they see be the content from tab 1. (Let me know if I've mangled that explanation.)

Thank you so much!
Good challenge. Here's how I'd do it, but there are probably a number of ways to do it.

Attached the file.
You would need to use some sort of variable to know that you're revisiting that first tab and then direct it to 1A if the condition of the variable is set.
I got rid of the button set/selected states so it's less to be concerned with
That's an interesting approach I'd never have thought of -- thank you!
Still interested in more ideas, particularly any that would result in no sub-buttons being selected when you return to that tab.
This is really making me think :)
