---------------------------------------

I think that your proposal is covering only a specific use case that is "create new instance with all the fields mapped to columns".
I'm sure that is not the most common workflow because you could have a lot of fields and also nested fields.

I think it is more simple and clear just to change expression builder component to have two different behaviour:
- List of Data Objects (only top level like: Dispute, Account and Amount)
- List of fields (also the nested ones like now) of a specific Data Object

The workflow I have in mind is:
- User create a new instance via contextual menu (so it will have "new column" and "new instance" in that menu)
- User select second level header and the expression builder (right panel) will let him choose the type of the instance (i.e. Dispute)
- User select third level header and the expression builder will let him navigate and select only Dispute's fields (exactly like now but without the possibility to open/use another type)
- User can add as many third level headers as he wants via same existing mechanism "new column"

We can probably add also a "Duplicate Instance" to help the user and block third level editing until the instance type has been defined
WDYT?

> As a user I want to define multiple data/domain object instances per scenario (i.e. possible to have a scenario with more than one instance of “Person”), so that I can create a test scenario.
