Why can’t I put an element in a parent view if it’s already in a subview?

If I have  view structure as follows :

Parent View

  • Sub View 1
    • ELEMENT A
  • Sub View 2
    • ELEMENT A

What's the reason I can't copy ELEMENT A to the Parent view ?
This to have following structure:

Parent View

  • ELEMENT A
  • Sub View 1
    • ELEMENT A
  • Sub View 2
    • ELEMENT A

Hi Tim, the idea is coming from a monitoring perspective. An element in a subview is also automatically already in the top view because of the bubble up, and will affect also the topview when it’s severity changes.

Also from a reporting perspective the element in the subview also already affects the top view.

Adding the element in the top view therefore is not necessary.
I’m however also not completely sure why it’s not allowed.

I believe this limitation is only in there to keep it simple and logical. If you move an element to a sub view, it automatically removes it from the parent view because it's already indirectly in that parent view. Putting an element in several views of the same branch could potentially cause confusion...
