Is there a placeholder to link a shape to the parent view (similar to [this view] )?
It seems that the shape data "View" doesn't support property, so how is it possible to make a generic visual overview if the view name/ID must be hard-coded?

Hi Bernard,
I have no issues getting the property placeholder to work with a shape linked to a view.
- On the child view, create a property 'ParentView' (or similar), with the name of its parent view
- On the Visio drawing assigned to the child view, add shape data with label 'View' and value '[property:ParentView]'
- Verify that the shape correctly links to the parent view
As Jens mentioned, a feature which takes care of this dynamically would be the way to go in the future, but the method above should allow you to implement this for the time being.
