Describe the feature you'd like

The recently implemented feature of "Default Pagetemplates" (issue #1803 and PR #3918) could be extended to Chapters. Where new pages created in a chapter are by default created with a configured template.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

In our wiki we have a book documenting internal workings of our association, one chapter is on processes which are meant to be documented in a standardized way. This is supported by a template. Thus, the process template should only be default in the processes chapter.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Only be splitting the chapters of a book into separate books.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

1 to 5 years

I'm using this change in my bookstack instances as for now, maybe I need to readd the default templates with the next update, but because it is a benefit for my installations I'm living with the risk to reset the changes to my database ;)
