Bug ID: 165548
Summary: ENDING the template chain-linking chaos: templates
should not be based off of another template

hi,
I'm sure this is a duplicate.. sorry...
but I think I can put it very clearly which may help solving this issue...
When you create a template you do it like:
"File / Templates / Save as template"
The result of this is that the new template will be based off of the template
which the document was based on (from which the template was made)
This is bad.
I mean:
from temp-1 --> doc-1
from doc-1 --> temp-new
temp-new is linked to temp-1
This really is bad.
Templates should be style sheets, determining the look and layout of
documents... not the other way around.
But in any case, templates should never update because another template was
modified.
SOLUTION:
When a new template is being generated,
linking to the template which the document (from which the template was
generated) was based on SHOULD BE CLEARED.
Why? Cause no template should update when a template is being modified.
