I am trying to write a cucumber feature file using data tables. The object that I need to form using the dataTable has a field which requires two fields. Example:

             | Name                | Owner    | Properties.Key | Properties.value  |
             | Name1               | myself   | someKey1       | someValue1        |                             
             | Name2               | robins   | someKey2       | someValue2        |

I was wondering if instead of writing it this way, if there's a better way to write the nested objects using dataTables. Something more like SpecFLow. Example: 

          | Name                | Owner    | Properties |
          | name1               | myself   | {nested}   |
          | name2               | robins   | {nested}   |
            |   key      |      value          |
            |  someKey1  |   someValue1        |
            |  someKey2  |   someValue2        |

Or is there any other way to make the nested dataTable??

Also, how will the steps for the table will look like in java?

    This answer is related to SpecFlow, which is cucumber for .NET, but it is essentially the same question: [SpecFlow and complex objects](https://stackoverflow.com/q/5788964/3092298). Basically, this is not how gherkin was designed to be used, and you need to split it into multiple steps instead. – Greg Burghardt Sep 13 '19 at 16:16
