Yeah, I have the same need. **I can explain my use case, as it’s very simple:**

* * *

I’ve started a Discourse forum for a small Norwegian football ⚽ team.

One of the **categories** is for match threads, where I post a **subject** for every match. When I do this, the current functionality, of having a template for use with **new subjects** , is very helpful for creating these match threads. 👍🏻

But I want users **replies** to the **match thread _subjects_** to be pre-filled with something like:

> Delete this sentence + the things below that don’t apply, so people can see when you wrote.  
> ⏳ _Before the match_  
> ⏱ _ **4** min_  
> ⌛ _After the match_

And I don’t see a way to do that now, and not with the [discourse-reply-template-component](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-reply-template-component) either.
