Hi @Anat_Srulovitch! 👋

In Discourse we have two “template” approaches that you may be referring to:

1. the plugin at [Discourse Templates](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-templates/229250), or
2. the core feature where the composer window is populated with a template

Which are you referring to?

And also, pretty sure it’s a yes on checkboxes and a maybe on mandatory fields. 🙂
