> *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:

> ---
> *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)?
