Can you use Routes on Structure entries I'm using a route to use a different template, but whatever I try the page remains unchanged, my structure is set as:

entry url format: {slug}

entry template: _pages/_entry

I want an entry's slug to use a different template - would this possibly be affecting the route being followed?

I want the entry 'home' to use the 'index' template (and not the '_home' template which exists at _pages/_home)

I've cleared my cache and updated indexes
You know you can do things like this in your root entry  template to load it dynamically based on slug or entry type 

{% extends [
  'pages/_custom/' ~ page.slug ~ '.twig',
  'pages/_entrytypes/' ~ page.type ~ '.twig',
  'pages/_generic.twig' ]
%}
