v8.0.2

It would be really nice, when changing the View path within an Embedded View component, if its properties were automatically added into the component’s params.

This is a feature a few people have asked for. We’re planning to add the view’s parameters as _suggestions_ in the add new key menu, rather than bringing them all in, all the time, since a given view could have many, many parameters that you don’t necessarily care about.

Sounds perfect. Are there already said ‘suggestions’ used elsewhere? I don’t think I’ve seen them before 🤔

For an example of what `suggestions` UI (currently) looks like, go to the `format` property on the Numeric Entry Field. It’s a freeform element - but there’s also a dropdown with preselected options. Something like that would be the basic level, and theoretically at some point we could write custom UI that wraps the JSON structure in the designer (just like what you get for bindings, for instance, or the new Flex UI in 8.0.3).

Sounds good!
