Hi Olaf, I don't really understand what you mean when you say "data module structure is fixed". - You can have any kind of folder structure there, - you can even have multiple different types along in the same folder structure. - If you write your own tree configuration you can have even content to be child/parent to another content of the same or even of different type ... what is it missing that you still see the structure as "fixed"?
