Setting a composite column to hierarchical requires that the lookup name be typed by hand into the box in preferences -> tags browser. Composite columns are not included in the drop-down list. I will look at fixing this.

The composite column type must be "column built from other columns, behaves like tags".

I tested whether composite columns can display as hierarchical, and it works.

The following function returns one of two values, based on whether the database ID is odd.

def evaluate(self, formatter, kwargs, mi, locals):
	if (mi.id % 2) == 1:
		return 'foo.bar'
	return 'foo.mumble'

I created a composite tags-like columns named #comp2, and called the function in its template.

program: myFunction()

The attached screen shot shows that the column is being displayed as hierarchical.
