So right now you can create a template, but it's function is pretty useless. See this usecase:

User creates a pattern. It is a well-developed pattern and he wants to start working with it for customers. So he measures and measures and measures. He creates new measurements for customers from his template.

Now he adds some features to his pattern, decides to use more measurements, now he adjusts his template. All new measurement files are based on this new template. However, all old measurement files are still based on the old one. If he uses a new measurement inside his pattern, all old measurement files can no longer be used, since it will give an error of "can't load measurement file, please provide #measurementX"

Now I can remember using dreamweaver from Adobe way back when I used to make websites. You'd make a template, then create new pages from that template (it was linked). When you adjusted the template, you'd automatically get the question saying; "Pages x y and z use template A. Would you like to update these pages?"

I think this would be a good addition to valentina.
