Writer template inheritance

[thumpercastle]

I’m on Windows 11 on an Arm processor, but using the regular 64-bit of Writer as the ARM version doesn’t display correctly.

I have created a parent template in Writer and saved it in the default templates directory as .ott. I then created a child template from it and saved that as another .ott in the same directory. I am expecting the child to inherit style changes from the parent, but I am getting nothing when I make changes in the parent. Any advice?

Templates are self-contained. There is no automatic inheritance between templates implemented.

We have limited support for tracking template changes from normal documents based on that template, but that’s not applicable to templates themselves.
