to clarify a bit further: the whole reason for this feature is to
support the extremely common situation of a physician or other HCP
needing to be able to decide at runtime some of the archetypes of the
template. Many other templates however can be 100% pre-designed, i..e
all archetypes known, only data values to be filled in. Most lab results
would be in this category.
