Description Ralph Kuniger 2025-05-24 11:46:48 UTC
Description:
When I create a new document from a template and want to save it, I have to re-enter the file name each time. Since these are forms that are to be saved in the folder of the respective case under the same name (e.g. form-493-request-for-something-approve.odt), it would be a great relief if the file name could also be preset in the document template, which should be suggested when a new file is saved from this template for the first time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a document template "Form-XVII-request-for-something.ott"
2. Create a new document from this template
3. Save the new document.

Actual Results:
The filename is "Unbenannt 1"

Expected Results:
The filename is Form-XVII-request-for-something.odt


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
I ask for the feature that optionally a file name can be preset when creating a document template.

My suggestion for the implementation: Under ‘Manage document templates’ you can already rename a template via the context menu. Add a checkbox here: ‘Save documents created from this template under this template.’ 
This could be saved in the document under ‘User-defined settings’, where it would then also be visible in the file properties.
