Ok, but you're throwing a curve there. Your original suggestion / request had none of those constraints. Would those concerns be adequately addressed if R.I.'s data in modules were in the core product? Alternatively, would it be acceptable for the 'tp' module to depend on a module providing that feature? Or to provide that or something equivalent itself? > Thanks anyway for the attempt, hopefully now is clearer why I can’t do this with existing functionalities. Your requirements are clearer, yes. What's not quite clear yet is whether you want to avoid your data binding falling back to general data when resource parameters are not found in module-specific data. If you do want to avoid that then I think you're right that existing functionalities won't do what you want, but then I'm certain that you were wrong earlier about what you want being achievable by a simple modification. On the other hand, I think you could put a custom function into module 'tp' that would read data from (only) a module-specific data source, along lines similar to hiera. If you used such a function instead of hiera(), then could a solution along the lines I described work for you?
