Schema Structure on DataSource with nested fields in MVVM

[Carl]

Hi,
In a scenario like this example here: http://jsfiddle.net/H4kNW/light/ 

How should the schema model be on my datasource when I want to use nested fields like this in my view model:

<input id="first" data-bind="value: Person.FirstName"/>
<input data-bind="value: Person.MiddleName"/>
<input data-bind="value: Person.LastName"/>

I tried:

var schemaModel = kendo.data.Model.define({

    id: "Id",

    fields: {

        Id: { editable: false, type: "number" },

        Person: {

            FirstName: { editable: false, type: "string" },

            MiddleName: { editable: true, type: "string" },

            LastName: { editable: true, type: "string" }

        }

    }

});

But this did not work.  Please advise of the correct way someone?

Much appreciated!

Hi Carl,

I am afraid that currently the dataSource does not support hierarchical structures. The implementation of such functionality is planned, but it will not be available in the next official release.
