Alert only current item

beamer add tag

How to alert only the current item without also alerting all subitems of it?

```
\documentclass{beamer}

\begin{document}
	
\begin{frame}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item<alert@1> test
  	\begin{itemize}
    \item test
      \begin{itemize}
      \item<alert@1> test
      \end{itemize}
    \end{itemize}
  \end{itemize}  
\end{frame}	
	
\end{document}
```

You can build a custom alert command which will only change the colour of the current item:

```
\documentclass{beamer}

\newenvironment{myalertenv}{\only{\setbeamercolor{itemize \beameritemnestingprefix item}{fg=alerted text.fg}\color{alerted text.fg}}}{}

\begin{document}
	
\begin{frame}
	\begin{itemize}
  \item<myalert@1> test
  	\begin{itemize}
    \item test
      \begin{itemize}
      \item<myalert@1> test
      \end{itemize}
    \end{itemize}
  \end{itemize}  
\end{frame}	
	
\end{document}
```
