{key: value} type with dynamic key name

[vobu]

Hi,

is it possible to model a generic key: value Object-like type in a .cds with a dynamic key name?
à la TypeScript Record<String, String>

So e.g. a modeled action

action bla(id: String, variables: array of Record<String,String>);

could be called with the payload

POST http://localhost:4004/bla
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "id": "4711",
    "variables": [
        {"i": "hope"},
        {"this": "is"},
        {"possible": "isit?"}
    ]
}

No, this is not possible.

The best you can do currently is to model "variables" as String or "array of String", with the (implicit) extra knowledge that the content of this String is a JSON of a certain form.
