Solution

In the structure you can insert data same as you do for entity Or in very general term say as we assign value for any Object. Like Object.AttributeName or Entity.attributename.

So for car structure you can do like : structure -> Car {type,color}

Car.type = some value.

Car.color = same value

yes, first you have to create the list type variable from this structure datatype like below : 


Now, this is just a normal list type variable you have, you can use All list functions. 

and to insert values you can use ListAppend or ListAppendAll based on the requirement/ scenario.
