Let's say I have the following datafile:

"frontMatter.data.files": [
  {
    "id": "authors",
    "title": "Authors",
    "file": "[[workspace]]/.frontmatter/content/people.json",
    "fileType": "json",
    "labelField": "name",
    "schema": {
      "title": "Authors",
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "name": {
          "type": "string",
          "title": "Name"
        },
        "slug": {
          "type": "string",
          "title": "Slug"
        }

I'd like to generate the following schema in my mdx file:

author:
  name: Dorothy Parker
  slug: dorothy-parker

Is this possible somehow?

@jordanlambrecht, thanks for opening an issue around this topic. Currently, this is not yet supported, as originally, the feature got implemented to use the dataFileKey as a single reference to the data record and let the SSG or framework handle the rest.

That said, we can support this by introducing a new property like additionalFields which get added like you suggest in your issue.

Long overdue, but this will be possible with the new dataFileAdditionalFields property on the dataFile field.
