Bootstrap 4: Multilevel Dropdown Inside Navigation
The following is MultiLevel dropdown based on bootstrap4. I tried it was according to the bootstrap4 basic dropdown.
.dropdown-submenu{
position: relative;
}
.dropdown-submenu a::after{
transform: rotate(-90deg);
position: absolute;
right: 3px;
top: 40%;
}
.dropdown-submenu:hover .dropdown-menu, .dropdown-submenu:focus .dropdown-menu{
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
position: absolute !important;
margin-top: -30px;
left: 100%;
}
@media (max-width: 992px) {
.dropdown-menu{
width: 50%;
}
.dropdown-menu .dropdown-submenu{
width: auto;
}

<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">b</a>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>I use the following piece of CSS and JavaScript. It uses an extra class dropdown-submenu. I tested it with Bootstrap 4 beta.
It supports multi level sub menus.
$('.dropdown-menu a.dropdown-toggle').on('click', function(e) {
if (!$(this).next().hasClass('show')) {
$(this).parents('.dropdown-menu').first().find('.show').removeClass('show');
}
var $subMenu = $(this).next('.dropdown-menu');
$subMenu.toggleClass('show');
$(this).parents('li.nav-item.dropdown.show').on('hidden.bs.dropdown', function(e) {
$('.dropdown-submenu .show').removeClass('show');
});
return false;
});.dropdown-submenu {
position: relative;
}
.dropdown-submenu a::after {
transform: rotate(-90deg);
position: absolute;
right: 6px;
top: .8em;
}
.dropdown-submenu .dropdown-menu {
top: 0;
left: 100%;
margin-left: .1rem;
margin-right: .1rem;

Here is another variation on the Bootstrap 4.1 Navbar with multi-level dropdown. This one uses minimal CSS for the submenu, and can be re-positioned as desired:
https://codeply.com/go/nG6iMAmI2X
.dropdown-submenu {
position: relative;
}
.dropdown-submenu .dropdown-menu {
top: 0;
left: 100%;
margin-top: -1px;
}
jQuery to control display of submenus:
$('.dropdown-submenu > a').on("click", function(e) {
var submenu = $(this);
$('.dropdown-submenu .dropdown-menu').removeClass('show');
submenu.next('.dropdown-menu').addClass('show');
e.stopPropagation();
});
$('.dropdown').on("hidden.bs.dropdown", function() {
// hide any open menus when parent closes
$('.dropdown-menu.show').removeClass('show');
});
See this answer for activating the Bootstrap 4 submenus on hover
