Put editor templates in view's folder with ASP.NET Core MVC 6

with MVC 4 I was able to put a view's editor templates into the view's folder: AwesomeApp/Views/UserMgmt/EditorTemplates/UserSettings.cshtml.

Now I am using ASP.NET Core MVC 6 and it does not find the editor template. I have to put them into AwesomeApp/Views/Shared/EditorTemplates/UserSettings.cshtml. What needs to be configured so I do not have to put all of my editor templates in this one folder?

I am using the latest version of Telerik's Kendo UI for ASP.NET MVC. But I guess it's something in the application itself.

Best regards, Carsten

This works out of the box in (at least) core 2.2. In one of the demos they have put the EditorTemplates folder underneath a views folder, not the shared folder.

I tested this myself using the following code...

public class TestEditorForModel
{
    [Display(Name = "Testing a string property")]
    public string StringProp { get; set; }

    [Display(Name = "Testing an integer property")]
    [Range(100, 1000)]
    public int IntProp { get; set; }

    [Display(Name = "Testing a decimal property")]
    public decimal DecProp { get; set; }
}

HomeController.cs

public IActionResult Index()
{
    return View(new TestEditorForModel
    {
        StringProp = "testing editorfor",
        IntProp = 123,
        DecProp = 123.456m
    });
}

Home/EditorTemplates/TestEditorForModel.cshtml

@model TestEditorForModel

<div>
    <label asp-for="StringProp"></label>
    <input asp-for="StringProp" placeholder="Testing" />
</div>

<div>
    <label asp-for="IntProp"></label>
    <input asp-for="IntProp" placeholder="123" />
</div>

<div>
    <label asp-for="DecProp"></label>
    <input asp-for="DecProp" placeholder="100.00" />
</div>

Home/Index.cshtml

@model TestEditorForModel

@Html.EditorFor(m => m)

Output
