No judging me on this one!  
I have a complex user input requirements for a DUT resource that means I need to create quite a few nested ListofObjects (see Image 1).  
Is there a way I can show a breadcrumb trail in the title of each nested object’s window?

For this example, each level of window depth would have the following titles:  
WLAN Radio’s  
WLAN Radio’s / Power Table Sets  
WLAN Radio’s / Power Table Sets / Power Tables  
WLAN Radio’s / Power Table Sets / Power Tables / Band Config  
WLAN Radio’s / Power Table Sets / Power Tables / Band Config / Protocol Config  
WLAN Radio’s / Power Table Sets / Power Tables / Band Config / Protocol Config / Power Table

Image 1: Many nested objects.

@jason.hicks no judgement at all! The complex and new use cases are always cool to see!

I don’t believe this is possible today, at least using the built list editors. @rolf_madsen may have some creative ideas for creating a custom ControlProvider, otherwise we can submit a feature request.

Until that ability is available in a list editor, you could always use a neutral delimiter and get the breadcrumb effect w/o the tool supporting it just by how you name each object.

Cheers Brennen  
Yeah, I think would be a great new feature to add.

Hi Bill,  
Thanks for the suggestion. Is it possible to dynamically change the decorator or are you suggesting hard -coding the title of each object?

Sorry - I hadn’t noticed. your question until today. Hard-coding - it’s a real kluge, but one easily fixed once/if actual paths are supported. Not sure about using the decorator.
