The Katalon Document [https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/Working+with+Shadow+DOM+Objects](https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/Working+with+Shadow+DOM+Objects)  
is saying:

> Limitation
> 
> - Only allow 1 level of nested Shadow DOM parent

In Katalon Studio, you can not deal with nested Shadow DOM.

If you are serious about nested Shared DOM issue, looking at [WebDrvier.io](http://WebDrvier.io) might be an alternative.
