Data Source

A data source can be filtered by giving it a data field name, by suffixing the data source name with a period and the filtering data field name. Currently the system does not support deeper “paths” than 2, i.e. “spell.name” is the deepest it will go. The expression is then given an operand, e.g. == !=, <, > and so on, after which a string, numeric type or another spell identifier list (if the operands &, | or - are used).
