  Hi Yoann,

  Would you be able to show a screenshot?

  Hi Franck,

  Here it is two screenshots, one of the template with a "note" inside, and a second after pushing "new Réunion", there is no note in the new element generated. Don't know if it's a bug or a feature not existing...

  What browser are you using, Yoann? Or are you on the desktop app? Have you updated your desktop app?

  I'm on the desktop app, problem is the same in the iOS app and with Safari browser.

  I updated tonight with the n.2105241521 but still same.

  I just tried the template in the directory where there is the source of the template and the note is duplicating fine. But when I hit the template anywhere else I pasted it, it doesn't duplicate the note.

  Hi Yoann,

  We have a bug with notes copying in templates 😬... this is an old bug that we intend to have fixed when we refocus on templates and improve them in general...

  Hi Franck,

  Thanks for your honest reply !

  Just to add one observation for the moment when you will refocus on templates :

  There is another bug on the templates label "New XXXXX" where it is copied : if you change the name of the template in the source, it will not change the label where it is copied except if you paste one more time the link of the template.

  Keep it up 😉

  Hi Yoann,

  Aaah, yes... but that is expected behavior for templates, because template copies are not live copies... they are not connected. Maybe you're thinking about mirrors? If you change a mirror's title then the other mirrors' titles will change too...

  Oh ok ! I missed this point !

  So it would be a good feature to implement for me : A kind of big mirror for templates, but only in one direction (template source -> template link), so if you change something in the template source, it's automatically changed in all other places you have the template link active.

  Thanks for your attention.
