Hi,

Is there a way to declare smart views on backend code and have a proper development workflow?  
today declaring views in the frontend, save, and go to the page is a bit of a pain and not efficient.  
Any plans for that?

Thank you,  
Florian.

Hi @Florian_Sureau,

For now, we only support frontend editing of smart views. I will push your request to our product team.

Thank you for your feedback
