Start with docs/user/ppl/limitations/limitations.rst and the linked issue 52 to understand the existing nested-field gaps. Then review the subtasks for the v3 and PPL work; this meta issue is complete only when the listed nested-type problems across the legacy engine, SQL, v3, and PPL have defined and implemented resolutions.
