Is there a way to use a field as part of a route resolver?

For example, lets say I have a "page" document type:

```auto
- path
- uid
- title
- content

```

...where the "path" is a string the content author puts in (e.g. "/parent/child/").

And I want the route to do something like this (in order to handle nested pages):

```auto
        {
            type: "page",
            path: "/:path?/:uid",
            resolvers: {
                path: "path"
            }
        },

```

I can get a route resolver to work when it's referencing an external document type but not when it's a field inside the current model.

Am I missing something?

Hey @dhayes, thanks for reachign out.  
It is possible to create nested paths with Content Relationship fields. Read the dedicated doc to learn how to do it:
