Outdated initial issue comment (See below comments for updated details)

./src/helpers/dataSet.js

dataSet Method

/**
 * Setting Data On Nested Properties Simplified 
 * 
 * { 
 *.   family: { 
 *.       mom: { first_name: '', last_name: '' },
 *        dad: { first_name: '', last_name: '' },
 *.       sister: { first_name: '', last_name: '' },
 *        brother: { first_name: '', last_name: '' }
 *     }
 *   }
 * 
 *.  setData(family, "family.*.last_name", "smith", overwrite = true);
 */
dataSet(target, value, key = '', overwrite = true)

• Create Tests For dataSet
• Setup dot delimited nested property access (see dataGet method)
• Setup "*" wildcard capability (see dataGet method)
• Setup multiple nested/wildcard key value pair functionality
• Pass "overwrite" boolean as optional parameter, "set"(overwrite) as true by default

("set" will override existing values, "fill" will only set "empty" or "missing" values)

• Update "form.set()" tests
• Refactor "form.set()" to allow for nested wildcard set capability
• Update "form.fill()" tests
• Refactor "form.fill()" to allow for nested wildcard set capability (set overwrite to false)
