Parenting computed fields with data objects
Embodiments are directed to visualizing data. A computed field that includes input fields and an object model that includes objects may be provided. One or more of the objects may be determined based on the input fields such that each input field corresponds to a determined object. A sub-graph may be generated based on the determined objects. Zero or more determined objects may be pruned from the sub-graph based on a traversal of the sub-graph and characteristics of the determined objects such that each pruned object may be determined to be an attribute of at least one of the determined objects. In response to the iterative pruning providing one remaining determined object in the sub-graph, assigning the remaining determined object as a parent of the computed field.
