Question for my fellow @NotionHQ nerds:
Is there a way to use the creation of a template instance to create another template instance inside it?
This interior template block links to another page, which is in a central Knowledge Base...
...so creating an instance makes a copy of that page inside this project. Linking to the external page in the template block allows the page to be updated from the Knowledge Base - hence, all new generated instances will be up-to-date as well.
However, creating the checklist instance inside this template removes that benefit; when a new project template instance is created from it, the interior copy of the Checklist will be potentially out-of-date. It's no longer pulling from the Knowledge Base.
The only solution I can think of right now is to just manually click the Template button inside each project instance when the checklist is needed - which is fine, but not optimal.
Ideally, hitting "New" and choosing the project template would trigger logic that also generates fresh instances of the checklists inside it.
I don't think this is currently possible, but if it is, I'd love to know about it!
