Vue3 Redirect with dynamic property

Question

I have this configuration in my router.ts:

{
  path: "/admin/operations/job-allocation/:id",
  name: "JobAllocation",
  component: () =>
    import(
      "@/views/admin/operations/job-allocation/index.vue"
    ),
  children: [
    {
      path: "",
      redirect:
        "/admin/operations/job-allocation/:id/operatives",
    },
    {
      path: "/admin/operations/job-allocation/:id/operatives",
      name: "JobAllocationOperatives",
      alias: "Operatives",
      component: () =>
        import("@/views/common/Operatives.vue"),
    },
  ]
}

When I visit the path: /admin/operations/job-allocation/1 I want to go to /admin/operations/job-allocation/1/operatives.

But in this setup it goes to /admin/operations/job-allocation/:id/operatives (the :id as a literal string of ':id' instead of being replaced by the number 1.

I'm hoping to use the router to do this, instead of using a 'mounted' hook to do the redirect at the JobAllocation component.

Is this even possible? I did not find this senario in the official Vue3 Router docs.

Use the object form of redirect to specify the route by name, so that the parameters are automatically passed along:

export default createRouter({
  history: createWebHistory(),
  routes: [
    {
      path: '/',
      component: HelloWorld
    },
    {
      path: '/admin/operations/job-allocation/:id',
      name: 'JobAllocation',
      props: true,
      component: () => import('@/views/admin/operations/job-allocation/index.vue'),
      children: [
        {
          path: '',
          redirect: {
            name: 'JobAllocationOperatives', 👈
          },
        },
        {
          path: '/admin/operations/job-allocation/:id/operatives',
          name: 'JobAllocationOperatives',
          alias: 'Operatives',
          component: () => import('@/views/common/Operatives.vue')
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
})
