TV and Nested TV on the same template

I'm currently trying to make a gallery with a simple nested migx TV. My template contains a simple gallery (array of images) + slightly more advanced galleries (array of headings and arrays with images). The TV the gallery is using is also used by the adv. gallery.

By changing the nested inputTV Tab setting ("inputTV":"mg.gallery" => "inputTV":"smthelse") it displays the right gallery.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Example:

mg.gallery

g_image: "teaser01.jpg"
g_image: "teaser02.jpg"
g_image: "teaser03.jpg"

mg.gallery_showroom

gs_heading: "unnecessaryheading"
gs_galleryslides (mg.gallery):

g_image: "slide01.jpg"
g_image: "slide02.jpg"
g_image: "slide03.jpg"
g_image: "slide04.jpg"

Outputs:

<ul>
<li>teaser01.jpg</li>
<li>teaser02.jpg</li>
<li>teaser03.jpg</li>
</ul>
teaser01.jpg<br>
teaser02.jpg<br>
teaser03.jpg<br>

Expected output:

<ul>
<li>teaser01.jpg</li>
<li>teaser02.jpg</li>
<li>teaser03.jpg</li>
</ul>
slide01.jpg<br>
slide02.jpg<br>
slide03.jpg<br>
slide04.jpg<br>

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Necessary Code:

TV: mg.gallery

[
{"caption":"Gallery","fields": [
{"field":"g_image","caption":"Picture","inputTVtype":"image"}
]}
]

TV: mg.gallery_showroom

[
{"caption":"Showroom","fields": [
{"field":"gs_heading","caption":"heading"},
{"field":"gs_galleryslides","caption":"Gallery Slider","inputTV":"mg.gallery"}
]}
]

showroom.html

<ul>
[[getImageList? &tvname=`mg.gallery` &tpl=`@FILE:assets/templates/chunks/mg.gallery.html`]]
</ul>
[[getImageList? &tvname=`mg.gallery_showroom` &tpl=`@FILE:assets/templates/chunks/mg.gallery_showroom.html`]]

mg.gallery.html

<li>[[+g_image]]</li>

mg.gallery_showroom.html

[[getImageList? &value=`[[+gs_galleryslides]]` &tpl=`@CODE:[[+g_image]]<br>`]]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Offtopic:
Apparently "inputTVtype":"richtext" diplays a table instead of the default textarea if no richtext-editor is installed, "inputTVtype":"textarea" works as expected. Is this normal behavior?

you can't use a TV, which is or ever was assinged to a template/resource, as a inputTV for MIGX.
This might produce conflicts between the Resource-TV and the MIGX-field.
I'm always using "inputTVtype":"migx","configs":"my_migx_config" for nested MIGX-fields
and do the configuration for formtabs and columns with the MIGX-configurator-CMP

"inputTVtype":"richtext" shouldn't show a grid, but the currently active richtext-editor.
If you see a grid, then something went wrong, there

you can buy me a beer, if you like MIGX
