Pretty clear, thanks! You problem is that you have external data format which you want transfer to. In ideal world I would give this job to an external module that uses [API](https://coda.io/developers/apis/v1beta1).

If you want to do it entirely inside document, there is the way. Your data structure is very similar to what non-relational databases do, e.g. MongoDB. Each record there has an unique indentifier `_id`, and the name of this field can’t be changed, but all other fields can: In this case field names are also part of **data** , not structure.
