Hello everyone

I find this feature can be very useful and reduce my dev time significantly:

It could be useful to allow relative path syntax in the embedded viewPath parameter, using './' to specify the same folder and '../' for the parent folder. In this way, we could build a complex view containing all the related and specific subviews in the same folder, and copying/pasting the same folder to reproduce another similar page will result in a totally independent clone of the original one

Please vote for this:
