I'm evaluating Noesis Studio and I'm running into an issue with the Data models. I'm not sure if I'm just doing something wrong (I'm brand new here) or if there is simply a bug with the latest Noesis Studio.

I'm trying to add a String collection to a data structure then generate an instance with some values. When I click the "+" icon to add an item to the data set nothing happens. if I create a struct that just has a string then use that as the type instead of a string it works perfectly fine. I've noticed number and bool collections have the same issue. It seems like only other structures can generate collections for data instances.

Hi mnowak, Dorian here --- thanks for dropping by with this,

So good news in relation to this; we're currently working on enabling the initial/expected approach you took, to work within Studio.
The resolution of this can can be followed here: https://www.noesisengine.com/bugs/view.php?id=4182

In the immediacy however, until the above is implemented, we'd recommend going with the second approach you took where you first create a DataStructure to contain a String Property (as a Single), and then serve that DataStructure to your Master Data Structure/ViewModel as a Collection. With this setup, exactly as you did, you can then freely create multiple Items within the Data Set.

Let us know if anything else we can help with!
