Describe the feature you'd like

It would be nice to create a template with fields such as Date, Dropdown, Text-Field which later can be filled via template and default wysiwyg editor.
You can add such fields but not edit/save the content (e.g. chosen date or dropdown) with the default editor (making a new page with template)

Maybe related: https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/4610, https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/4950

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

A template could be nicely formatted with fileds and dropdown for easy completion (make new entry the same way)

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

maybe with manually edit in source code editor?

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

Thanks @pbuergi, but I feel this is already fundamentally covered by issue #5492, which is related to a few prior issues as related there, so I'm going to close this off as a duplicate.
