Option to change the location of new Paper docs that are created from templates
I see this request as a subset in other closed requests, but not as one specific suggestion.
Managing file locations is intuitively important to DB users to control access, make them easier to find, avoid duplicates, etc. Likewise, a main user case of DB Paper is meeting management, and many of us use a custom template to record and share recurring meeting discussion content. As far as I can find, when we use a Paper template (.papert) to create a new document, that doc (.paper) is saved in the very top level of the DB site hierarchy, with no dialog or means to specify another location. As a result, users must remember to move this new file to the proper team folder every time. Contrast this with creation of a new Paper doc from the Create+ menu, where the new doc (.paper) is made in the current folder level. A user could create automation at the top level to move .paper files to a specific folder, but that creates other risks.
What would make sense to me is a new option in the Create+ menu, Create Paper Doc from Template, with behavior that would mimic the flow for a new doc (screen capture). Indeed, I would think this far more useful than the option of creating a new Paper Template file, which is already present. Thanks, Dave
