Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I do not think that this is a bug. It would be amazing when I create a new object on my phone or tablet of a certain custom type, it will automatically apply a template I created. Right now, no matter what type I select for a new object, it is always blank.

Describe the solution you’d like
The template of a type is automatically applied when creating a new object, similar to desktop version. When there are multiple templates for a particular type, I can imagine a pop-up window that allows a user to select a particular template. Or just automatically selecting the first template is fine as well.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered
Always create new object on desktop, then edit on mobile/tablet. But sometimes, this is not feasible.

@jajcayn
Thank you for your request.
In the future alle plattforms should have feature parity. As that is being worked on, it’s not the case right now.
I added a a row to the feature parity overview to include “Create object using a Template”.

I’m pretty sure that Templates are now available on iOS. Can you confirm if that is true?

I don’t see a way to create an object with a template. The “Library” isn’t available and I don’t see an option inside a newly created object.

I’ve just tried out creating a new Object from a template, and it does appear it creates with a template - it just doesn’t ask. It also seems to ask which template the user wants to use if there are multiple.

I think it should be appropriate to close this issue as from my testing, new objects seem to be created with a template and even if that wasn’t the case, feature parity is planned.

How did you do it? :sweat_smile:
Just creating an object?

Yep - all I needed to do was to create a new object in a set. Maybe the behavior is different when creating from outside a Set perhaps?

Ah yes. From a set it works.
