Hi there!
Text Tags cannot be used with templates, that is correct.
The Signature Request Walkthrough lists 3 different scenarios:

- Sending a signature request using templates

The section referencing Text Tags is part of the 3rd scenario: Using Files and Form Fields

There are currently no plans to make text tags available for templates, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.

That is really sad to hear. I just did a quick assessment of the top 15 e-sig platforms on G2 and all except you and Signaturely can accommodate Text Tags in documents without the need for API.
