Context side bar, delete sub properties?

Is there any particular reason why we can only delete the main item at the top level, and not any of the elements under that ?

I think that it is because that would need a different interface. Deleting the object as a whole is one thing but removing a property from an object is something else.

I know this has been discussed in the past. Not sure if anything ever went onto a backlog. It certainly would be nice to have a way to edit context variables directly.

Since the context delete already understands sub props (e.g. global.set('top-level.sub-prop', undefined)) this should be as simple as presenting the delete button on the properties (famous last words :wink: )

More recently, working on flows using lots of context, I have wished this were a feature with increasing frequency.

As I use context variables for things like caching in UIBUILDER, I would certainly like to have the ability to delete and even edit properties in them from the Editor. Would be very handy and save having to write a mini-flow to do it.
