Story Templates

[Feature Idea]: Story Templates

Background:

Sometimes, when creating stories, it would save time if existing stories could be reused as a template.

Idea:

Lets say a story contains an imaginary structure like this:

  • Step A: Define Your Idea and Audience
  • Step B: Plan and Outline
  • Step C: Write a First Draft
  • Step D: Revise and Edit
  • :nerd_face: Note: Double check deadline

Based on the above story, the following template could be created:

  • Step A: …
  • Step B: …
  • Step C: …
  • Step D: …
  • :nerd_face: Note: …

Whenever the β€˜+ Story’ button is clicked, an additional drop-down menu may appear, offering the option to load a template. This way, similar stories could be created very quickly.

A faster but also slightly less flexible option would be the ability to duplicate stories.

Hi again @Lurchinux ,

Like for your first suggestion, thank you so much, quality feedback like this is wholefully appreciated.

Template are a definite yes also, but contrary to tags, it is not planned yet. We just know that we want to provide it eventually.

Your input for it is appreciated and will be looked into once we tackle this. Your suggestion to provide duplication capability in the meantime is interesting, as that would be much simpler to implement at first. Maybe by supporting Copy/Paste shortcuts.

Great, sure thing - it would also be more of a nice-to-have for me. I think a Copy/Paste option would already be very helpful.

I’m glad to hear that this feedback is welcome. Just to add: This feedback is just meant as ideas from a user perspective. I know you guys have a lot on the roadmap and know best what and how to implement things.:slightly_smiling_face:
