Hello Hubspot comrades.  
I am having an issue with my dnd\_module markup and in trying to reference a variable of a custom module. How do you reference custom module variables which are three levels ‘deep’?

Say for example I have the following structure in my custom module:

‘Styling (group) \> Background (group) \> Background Type (choice)’. How then would I reference that in dnd\_module markup?

Thanks as always,

Steve
