             Summary: Increase the advanced user productivity when he creates a new Data Type
                 Key: DROOLS-3784
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/DROOLS-3784
             Project: Drools
          Issue Type: Epic
          Components: DMN Editor
    Affects Versions: 7.18.0.Final
            Reporter: Donato Marrazzo
            Assignee: Michael Anstis
         Attachments: type-selector.png

The Data Type editor could be improved in terms of productivity and usability.
Ideally, the user should be able to create a complex type minimizing the mouse usage.

1) Saving the node is an overhead for basic data type (e.g. age: number)
2) Some actions in the kebab menu should be more visible and available even before saving the type (as standalone icon / buttons). Especially, insert nested, delete.
3) Select type in the selector by typing the name of the type (see screenshot): it already works but it consider just the first letter typed. Since, by convention, all custom types starts with `t` letter, it would be better consider at least 2 letters.
