Feature Request: [Different document in template]

[hannodv]

Feature Title

Select a different document in template

Feature Description

Selecting a different document while using a template would be very useful. Currently, when using a template, I can change many things before sending, but I can't change the base document. Since my documents all have the signature space in the same area, it would be a great time saver to be able to set the locations of the signature, date, etc. on the template, and just update the base document before sending.

While this sounds like a great feature. This might confuse a lot of users. What do you have in mind about the UX of this feature?

I understand how it could be confusing to put under templates, so maybe it should be called something else, but let me give more detail: Until recently, I used a different service for digital signatures, where fields with their locations can be imported from another document. So, I had a template document that I could import those fields from.

With Opensign however, I currently need to manually place every field (signature, date, etc) every single time, even though it goes on the exact same place on every document. So a template (or even just the previously created document) where the fields are auto-populated from onto the chosen pdf would be a great time-saver. As a bonus, it would ensure each document has the fields in exactly the same location.

FYI @andrew-opensignlabs A few months ago there was a PR made to enable this feature - #1549

However, it was closed without a reason given. I would still really appreciate this feature (which I used extensively while being a customer of an Opensign competitor).

Is there a specific reason why it can't be accepted?
