Batch Convert file structures to Dynamic/Static Containers

When using Virtual Containers to hold a snapshot for tendering/review purposes, you currently need to use Create As to create a virtual container of every container in the file tree. If you then want to hold a Dynamic version of this for non-core consultants to review, you essentially need to rebuild your file tree.

It would be much more convenient to be able to create a virtual container version of a file structure, where container names and their subcontainers are retained.

Eg if I have a folder for Architectural Drawings, which I have split into plans/section/elevations sub-containers for ease of navigation, being able to batch convert these into a virtual tree of Architectural Drawings > plans/sections/elevations would be a time saver, and allow much easier distribution of these using public links/
