Use new templates

So, I'm used to the old way of doing templates where you just duplicate.  I've always wanted better support with traceability, etc, which seems to be what the new support for templates is doing.

 

But I'm confused...

Simple Example:

ROOT_NODE

  - SUB_NODE

  - SUB_NODE

 

I tried two tests and both had the same results:

- without any nodes highlighted, make ROOT_NODE a template

- with all nodes highlighted above, make a template.

 

Results for using template in both?

ROOT_NODE #template // template use code directive

  -

 

aka, it didn't duplicate any children nodes in the template. D:

 

Am I doing something wrong?

  Hi Julia,

  Yes... we have a bug with copying and pasting the code... children nodes do not appear. We've got this queued :-)

  Oh good.  I'm not going crazy.

   

  I got a template working and figured it out, but when I made a template out of a single node and used it, it would automatically insert an empty child.

   

  Really unexpected.  Seems like it might be a stray bug.
