Marks a view as an abstract template. Template views cannot be used directly — they must be extended by another view using the extends property. This enables reusable view patterns and inheritance. Template views have relaxed model validation, meaning missing columns will not cause errors. This allows you to define abstract structures that are completed by the extending view. Refer to this community article for more information. When a non-template view extends a template view, it inherits all of the template’s attributes and can override or add to them.

Syntax
