Does anyone know of an outliner that supports columns where the column content can also be an outline (i.e., hierarchical, collapsible)

Oups… I did not read your question well enough. None come to mind that can have a collapsable outline in a cell of an outliner
May I ask why you’d like that?

I can envision situations where I have related sets of information that are parallel.
This would be like having a Word table with columns, where there are notes in each column. In Word I could use an outline or a bulleted list style. I was envisioning something like this but with the ability to collapse items like an outliner.

You might want to look at recent versions of Excel. I have a friend who uses Excel and its columns to store text info. Perhaps newer versions of Excel can collapse rows that have text in columns to the right, but no entries in the leftmost columns. Even my version of Excel has some outlining features.
