Dynamic Decomposition Trees

Please refer the image below:

kedar09_0-1634117294400.png

 

My data comes from an API endpoint. Here I made a decompostion tree visual on the basis of the parent count. As of now there are only 3 children defined (shown above). Note: Child3 is a child of Child 2, Child 2 is a child of Child 1 and so on.

Also note that I need to manually drag and drop the columns into the "Explain by" field.

Now let us assume that upon refreshing my datasource (API endpoint), I come across Child 4. Is there a way through which the 4th child would be reflected dynamically into the decompostion tree after refreshing without the requirement of manually dropping the Child 4 field into the visual? 

In the real world scenario if I encounter upon 20/30 children, dragging and dropping each and every field into "Explain by" would be very time consuming and tedious. So is there any way through which this could be automated? Please help. Thanks.

 

Best Regards,

Kedar
