The rules are that in a record update, neither the record being updated (the thing to the left of the bar) nor the field names can have dots in them. In order to do nested record updates, you'll have to use `let...in...` to give simpler names to all your record's nested fields.
I believe the logic here is that nested records are generally bad design, but I'd love to see this explored more, as obviously, in other programming languages, we are all quite used to building data types out of other data types. Perhaps nested records are OK but trying to update multiple levels of a record at once is a sign of bad design? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Elm Discuss" group.
