Description
Note: this work will target the DAC-feature branch
related to #3679
This is a consideration and not a commitment to work at this point. We should review the feasibility and supportability. If it is doable and not deemed maintainable, we can move the example code to the DAC reference for users to manually implement.
This will also users to specify a single folder containing multiple files vs having to specify a single file at a time.
Adding support for custom directories will require some changes to the current schema loading process. We currently do not support specifying more than one index for a file or directory. As such, if one specified a directory it would all be loaded under that index. While convenient for some, this abstraction of the index may create unforeseen and difficult to debug problems for many users. In order to provide this feature we will need to provide a means for specifying the index for each file either through a standard naming convention (e.g. pulling the index from the file name) or an alternative method.
