This parameter is required in topic files.
Defines the base view for the topic. Values should be unquoted. Quotes will be removed/ignored upon saving.
If a topic’s base_view is ignored or excluded by model-level directives (ignored_views, ignored_schemas, included_views, included_schemas) or by the view’s ignored parameter, it will be suppressed. This means that the topic will not appear in the topic picker and or be included in model validation.
