Custom partials of TYPO3 form

Question

How can I set custom partials for the TYPO3 form extension? Is it possible to set this in the template under "Setup"? For example

plugin.form {
    view {
            partialRootPaths >
            partialRootPaths {
                    0 = fileadmin/form_partials
            }
    }
}

Your typoscript is possible, but it is more malicious than helpful.

There is a build-in fall back mechanism for templates (or this time: partials) you will destroy.

If you want to replace FLUID templates (layouts, templates, partials) with your own version of a file you can add their folder to the array of paths with a higher number. The highest index is considered first on the search of a FLUID file and then there will be a fall back to the next lower number, until no further folder is available.

If you remove all entries and set your own you need to have all FLUID files in your folder - even if you have not modified anything compared to the original.
Especially if you modify the output of an extension with a system of FLUID files you need to copy a lot of files. and you might miss some important enhancements on the next update in files you only copy.
