When using Element Templates I have properties assigned like colour weight style for element or style or other attribute or object placement.
When i switch to another Template which has other properties or attributes applied, the previous Template properties and attributes are carried to the new Template if there is no value assigned.
For example, if I set a Template to priority +100, and the next Element I place using a Template does not have a priority assigned then it inherits the previous template priority of +100 where I do not want it to have a Priority.
This means that in my templates I have to explicitly assign a value to every single Template in order to avoid spilling properties into unwanted Elements that i place.
This also means that when i place an Element without a template, those properties are also inherited unless I change them.
it's just an optional Capability or toggle to automagically revert the template, perhaps to a default Template or level in between template usages. A little bit of automation.
The idea used Display Priority as an example property.
The idea has nothing to do with how Display Priority works; it is about reverting the Template settings or properties when changing the active Template.
I don't want to have to keep clicking a neutral Template every time I switch between Templates, adding an extra click in between.
This also shows there is a problem with the data pipelines for Transparency and Display Priority, there is no By-Level option for those Level/Template properties. It is a gap.
I believe this is a WAD. The priority setting is not inherited. One template sets the active priority to e.g. +100, the next doesn't have the priority defined, therfore it just remains +100. It is the same when you manually set the priority to e.g.+500 and then apply a template that doesn't set the priority, then the priority will remain at +500.
You could define an element template that sets all desired values to default and perhaps define a function key sending the command "TEMPLATE ACTIVE Default_Values" where "Default_Values" is the name of the element template
