Navigate complexe types directly with Fields instead of ReportItem.DataObject
Presently, when you use the Fields property, you can only access simple type properties : "= Fields.CompanyName", "= Fields.CompanyPhone". The complexe types are not accessibles via the Fields property. If you want to print a complexe type property, you need to use the expression "= ReportItem.DataObject.Company.Name", "= ReportItem.DataObject.Company.Phone".

In my opinion, this is not very intuitive. 2 differents ways to read a property depending of his type! It would be great to be able to access anything from the Fields property.

This notation is supported from the expression engine. However it did not have appropriate design time support. Please try a more resent release where nested properties get enlisted in the Expression Builder dialog.
