Description
Currently when you create a nested app with startapp:
./manage.py startapp example apps/example
The app config will only set ExampleConfg.name = "example" however the correct value should be "apps.example"
I'd recommend this be accepted as a bug with what seems like an easy fix:
- We should be able to use
settings.BASE_DIR(if it wasn't removed) andos.path.relpath()to check if the specified target directory is within the project and convert it to a Python path if so. - If for some reason
BASE_DIRdoesn't exist or the target directory is outside the base dir then we just leave it as the app's name ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah thanks Sarah… I searched but didn't get that. Glad you're on top of all the tickets ❤️
I might comment on that and ask felix to reconsider because my suggestion is slightly different to the one in that ticket's PR
