[DMN Designer] Data Types - Business Central Data Objects as DMN Data Types UX ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: DROOLS-4481 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-4481 Project: Drools Issue Type: Task Components: DMN Editor Reporter: Guilherme Gomes Assignee: Elizabeth Clayton Priority: Major Labels: UX, UXTeam, drools-tools Attachments: 2019-08-26 17.48.30.gif, 2_introtext.png, Screen Shot 2019-08-26 at 18.11.01.png *Requirements* It should be possible to generate data types from imported data models (java classes). * As a user I want to be able to use data type definitions that are structured similar to Java data object models (classes) that I have defined externally. * As I user I want to be able to edit and update data objects that have been converted to data types, so that I can manually update the definitions. Import/convert data objects: * 5 levels deep can “introspect” and convert data model, beyond that the data type would be “any.” * Import (convert) only within the Data Type tab, this is not a feature of the Import/Include function as import DO’s is not supported in the DMN spec. -- *Current scenario* Currently, users can create Data Objects on Business Central. See: !2019-08-26 17.48.30.gif|width=600! However users cannot re-use Data Objects as Data Types. --- *Description* Data Objects (DO) are pretty similar to DMN Data Types (DT). So, would be great to import the DO above as a DMN DT like the following one: !Screen Shot 2019-08-26 at 18.11.01.png|width=600! --- *Questions to clarify at requirement level* 1) Some DOs can be quite complex and some fields can be impossible to guess. - Person -- name (Some strange type) -- age (Integer) What should we do? Import name as "Any"? Remove the name field? Or block the Person type? 2) Do we need a specific component to import Data Objects as Data Types? Couldn't we just add Data Objects in the type dropdown, but use a different category (Default, Custom Data Types, Data Objects)?
