11/23/2021, 10:38 AMHi, I'm trying to push an object graph into Datahub (a class hierarchy to be precise) and have run into a basic question about Datahub's support for custom types: Is it possible for a field within a schema to be of a custom type, so that when I click on the type's name it takes me to that type's definition?
I've attached a screenshot so that it's more clear. In that pic, let's say AppFeatures is my class, and displayProperties is a field within that class. I want to represent that field as having the type DisplayProperties, and then be able to navigate to that definition of DisplayProperties by clicking on it. Is that possible in Datahub?

11/23/2021, 12:07 PMI was able to model the nested object as a different DataSet and use a foreign key reference to point to it (see attached pic). Currently my foreign key field is of type String. I haven't tried changing its type to RecordType and then pointing it to the DisplayProperties dataset itself. Will see.

11/23/2021, 12:25 PMI'm able to change the type of a field to RecordType and make that field point to a field within a different DataSet (see screenshot).
But when I try to make my Struct point directly to another DataSet, the UI errors out (possibly because schema is messed up?). In the MCE JSON The foreignFields key expects a field URN as value, and not a DataSet URN. Can the issue be due to that?
