## Field paths, wildcards, and contextualization
270+
271+
The expression language operates on fields referenced in the `inputs` and `output` of each rule. For details on how to reference fields, including dot notation, escaping, wildcard matching, and contextualization datasets, see [Map data by using data flows](concept-dataflow-mapping.md). These field path features apply to both data flows and data flow graphs.
272+
273+
Key features:
274+
275+
- **Dot notation**: Reference nested fields like `Employee.DateOfBirth` or escape segments containing dots like `"Tag.10"`.
276+
- **Wildcards**: Use `*` in input and output paths to match multiple fields at once, for example `ColorProperties.*`.
277+
- **Contextualization datasets**: Reference external data with `$context(datasetName).fieldName`.
