Ultimately, templates are just clones of an existing thing.
An idea is that any document in any collection that starts with, eg: _template could be treated as a template. but this would work for the 'base' document like the kanban board or an Item. Any further template like kanban card would need to have an UI for it... Having this kind of system set up plus a similar document picker but instead of a picker we could show all templates for all collections, imagine this:
- working on a script, identify a todo.
- ctrl + shift + t
- the 'template picker' shows up
- type
bug - select kanban bug card template
- as it is a 'sub-template' we show a picker for the target board or an option to create new board.
- navigate to board in new tab,
- open the corresponding template ready to fill
this one is tricky, but it will definitely improve workflow in general. as this could work with "any" template.
eg: In a gdd writing about a 'sword' could let the user very quickly create a weapon template (for the items collection) .
will try to think more about it!
