Today, Discourse offers the ability to set a default topic template for all new topics created in a category. It would be great if Discourse also had a default template for all new posts inside topics in that category.

## Use Case

We are embedding comments in our external documentation site, but we would like users to all post with a similar template when responding to the topic that is embedded there, to ensure they give the right feedback that is needed by our docs team.

I have seen that! Unfortunately I need it to be the default template as soon as someone clicks the reply button at the bottom of a topic, as soon as the composer opens—the exact same way it works for new topics in categories where you have a template defined.
