If multiple levels are shown, give a plus (expand) and minus (collapse) option to browse the tree easier. Similar to Object Browser in other development platforms. 2. When it is collapsed, supply the fully qualified variable name (e.g. node.data_map.image) for easy copy paste into template being developed.
