Research direction

Start by comparing DataTables-Editor-Server/MJoin.cs around line 750 with Editor.cs around line 1394, then read the linked forum discussion for the nested-type and left-join context. The change is complete when MJoin.Model() supports the nested fields described in the issue without requiring each field to be defined manually.

This forces us to define the nested fields manually via:

.MJoin(new MJoin("InventoryServerWarranty")
    .Model<InventoryServerWarranty>()
    .Field(new Field("InventoryServerWarrantyProvider.Name"))
    .Field(new Field("InventoryServerWarrantyProvider.Description"))
