Export mapping: Allow attribute selection for 1-1 associations through one object

1

Hi all, I noticed the following inefficiency in the export mapping functionality that I'd like to see resolved.


For JSON structures where there is a nested 1 - 1 JSON object inside another, it would be nice if we could set attributes from a Mendix object, which is also the parent.


See below case:



As you can see, there is a nested style object, which attributes could easily live inside the Item Mendix object. Due to the limitations of the Export mapping functionality we now have to create both an Item and Style object in order to fill the mapping.


My suggestion would be to, in case of 1 - 1 relationships, to be able to map the attributes of Item to, in this case the Style attributes.
