Techniques for modifying hierarchal-structured data of one hierarchal data structure based on a modification to another hierarchal data structure are disclosed. A system determines that a modification has been made, or is requested to be made, to a particular hierarchal data structure. The system analyzes a set of rules to determine whether the modification of the hierarchal data structure triggers another modification to an additional hierarchal data structure. The additional hierarchal data structure includes different nodes, or nodes arranged in a different hierarchal structure, than the particular hierarchal data structure. The system modifies the additional hierarchal data structure based on the rule. The modification of the additional hierarchal data structure is different than the modification to the particular hierarchal data structure.
