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

Hi [~uxdlc] , 

I understand the UI consistency goal that PatternFly aim to, but I believe that it should not limit the user experience: so if PatternFly does not define a method to tackle this problem, maybe we should propose an improvement for it.
Please, try to create the data structures that I attached, I think that you will come at the some conclusion that we need a more convenient way to insert new fields. 
Even that existing Data Object modeller is more comfortable in creating multiple fields.

> 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.
