This is pretty helpful to get started with writing schemas, as it allows one to go from inferred events over to having a manually specified schema without needing to write everything from scratch. The operator name is still a TBD and this definitely needs documentation _iff_ we want to keep this. This originated in a discussion in the community Discord, where a new user suggested this workflow.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I applied this locally and verified that it works as expected.
However, the string format is a bit awkward to use, in order to do anything useful with the schema afterwards (ie. search for the presence of a field with some specific type) one has to resort to substring search.
I think it would be worth considering to turn the definition in a nested field, or as a compromise maybe in JSON format so that it can be easily postprocessed by other tools.
