Do you really need the inner constructor defined manually? The condition required for everything to work automatically is that your type can be created from its field values, without manually...

> An example of contructorof in the documentation / README could be nice 👍 Yeah, I guess https://juliaobjects.github.io/ConstructionBase.jl/ doesn't give all the details needed to explain `constructorof` from the start......

This is already (partially) supported, by the way: ```julia julia> @set n[(:a, :b)] = (4, 100) (a = 4, b = 100, c = 3) ``` Also see `setall()`, but...

Agree, `setproperties` turns out to be enough more often than I originally expected :) Sometimes I need to set multiple properties/indices in a nested structure (so `setproperties` isn't most convenient),...

Depending on the specific usecase, a recent feature of [AccessorsExtra](https://gitlab.com/aplavin/AccessorsExtra.jl) can be useful: ```julia julia> o = @optic₊ (_.a, _.b) julia> set(n, o, (4, 100)) (a = 4, b =...

This seems to be the oldest open issue on the topic, best to consolidate any potential discussion in one place. Others are https://github.com/JuliaObjects/Accessors.jl/issues/119 and https://github.com/JuliaObjects/Accessors.jl/issues/82. A rough summary of the...

Try the `view`-lens now available in [AccessorsExtra](https://gitlab.com/aplavin/AccessorsExtra.jl): ```julia julia> @set v |> view(_, 1)[].x = 5 2-element Vector{MyT}: MyT(5) MyT(2) julia> v 2-element Vector{MyT}: MyT(5) MyT(2) ``` Suggestions for a...

You may find `RecursiveOfType` recently added to [AccessorsExtra](https://gitlab.com/aplavin/AccessorsExtra.jl) helpful: ```julia julia> x = (a = (1, 2), b = (c = ((3, 4), (5, 6)), d = (7, 8))); julia>...

Added such a two-step recipe to MakieExtra.jl for now: use as `glowtext!` with the same arguments as `text!`. See [docs](https://aplavin.github.io/MakieExtra.jl/test/examples.html) for more details. 

A potentially simple solution would be to always show the "table" icon in variable explorer, and use `columntable` or `rowtable` to actually load data when users click there.
