P: Grouping layers clipped in a clipping mask.

Hello,
I sent the same request here!
You can vote positively, in the hope that the developers hear us 😉

Upvoting this feature as well. Would be nice to be able to mask folders/groups by an individual layer or even folder/groups/smart objects.

We want to make clipping masks out of groups!!

Ah, seems I'm not the only one! I was tasked with working in a project from a CSP user and restructuring the layers to get it to work cost almost as much as a copy of CSP, which I am also on the brink of jumping to.

Unfortunately this doesn't work when working in a production pipeline with someone who uses a different program 😞 

The first thing thhttps://vimeo.com/450654108at comes to mind is that Photoshop can't and won't and never will. There are tons of things that it will NEVER DO, such as Lassoing Things in the Timeline. It will never happen. Anyway I wonder why you would want to .It's OK the way it is, I guess.

I should strongly urge that you Change your Tactics and begin to use the Timeline Panel to organize your Layers. You can bunch assets along the Timeline, even throw the Odd Video in there. Videos are treated the same as anything else. The worst is the Video Grouping procedures. Just abandon all hope when using Video Layers. They work beautifully but they have been known to Eat things indiscriminately.

I'm wondering if Adobe can take a look at implementing this. I see that this issue is over 7 years old at this point, but CSP recently implemented this as a working feature and I've been working with someone who primarily uses CSP in their workflow.

This arrangement would work out great since they can export as PSD's, but it has been a bit of a nightmare because they heavily use shading layers (using multiply on the group and normal on the stacked shadow layers) in their workflow. When they send the files to me the grouped layer stacks are preserved (photoshop seem to understand grouped clipping layers) but they do not visually display properly. I have to merge every single group in order for the canvas to show anything correctly.

I would prefer not to make the move to CSP, but it's becoming dominant in the 2d art area and these small issues have been adding up as CSP updates far more often with features Photoshop is lagging behind in for my specific field.

7 Years and counting. But hey, they updated the "Fire" filter that nobody uses, so there's that I guess?
