How to Expand automatically in columns, (lists + records) in different levels
This should be doable but it is a little tricky. If it was all nested records, it is easier. When you expand your data, how do you handle Lists? do you expand to new rows? or just extract the values? Also, do the lists include more records and lists?
Is your data coming in as JSON? Can you share some example/mock data?

ppm1 Hey thank you for the reply !
Iam working on it since yesterday, and it seems very difficult !
can you implement the solution if you think it's doable ?
Every time, i use the expand icon, to extract all the values but it takes really a lot of time to do because of records and lists nesting !
I can't share the data because it cames directly from Jira via a connection, so i don't really have a file !
Thank you in advance for your help

Making/finding a test data set would take time I'm not sure I'll have. Was hoping you could modify a few rows of your input JSON data so it could be shared. Also, you didn't answer the questions around how you handle lists while expanding the data (expand vs. extract, and do they include nested lists/records).
