Weston Pace commented on ARROW-18265:
-------------------------------------
I agree {{pc.field(0)}} should not mean to select the first element of each
list value (eg in projections). I thought the proposal here was only for the
form square-bracket --> numbers --> square bracket (e.g. {{[0]}})
> [C++] Allow FieldPath to work with ListElement

> {{FieldRef::FromDotPath}} can parse a single list element field. ie.
> {{{}'path.to.list[0]`{}}}but does not work in practice. Failing with:
> _struct_field: cannot subscript field of type list<....>_
> Being able to add a slice or multiple list elements is not within the scope
> of this issue.
