Does anybody know how sure whether or not that a document file generated from a template would automatically have the template filename automatically inserted in the Template field of the General page of the document properties (File > Properties > General)? I somehow thought that was the case; however, it does not work on the test documents I created today by a few test templates (version 3.3, I think...). I am using version 3.4.3.
What you describe has always worked for me, as long as I use File > New > Templates and Documents (or one of the equivalent ways of getting to Templates and Documents) or when using the Template Changer extension.
However, if you create the new file by double-clicking on the template in any ordinary folder, the template is NOT attached and the name of the template does NOT appear on the Properties page. Or that used to be the behavior.
Later today I'll verify that with v3.4.3. What o/s are you using?
If so, would that particular field have to be preset in the template? I inserted an entry in that field in the template proper, and it still did not automatically carry over to the copy. Does this field need to be manually inserted in a document? Or might this behavior be a bug?
I didn't know it was possible to set that field manually.
