It might be nice to have an action available in the action framework to allow us to “set the context” for merge syntax to a particular model and row (first, last, or number).
That way we could avoid creating a model just to store values that we need to use multiple times to ‘create a new row.’ (A very nice trick, btw. Hat tipped to Pat.)
And we can avoid merge syntax strings that always look like {{$Model.MyModel.data.0.Field__c}} instead of just {{Field__c}}.

Thanks for the creative thinking. We will take this into consideration. We know that the idea of “context” has a lot of rough edges and it could be made clearer in our builder. This might help.
+20Came up again today. My use case to create a wizard where someone essentially drills down into the data structure in each step. Problem is that we currently have to set a condition on each level going down the data structure and query. ie. products
I will switch the setup to be Tables and Drawers to make this work, but I wanted to use a wizard. 😦
