[Framers] conditions - in templates vs. applicable docs ?

[Keith Soltys]

I have been wishing for a feature like that for some time, but one that would also handle variable values.

The wonderful SmartDocs add-in for Word does that - they have a feature called Snapshots in which you specify both variable values and conditional text settings. You can have multiple Snapshots for a document.

Frame could really use something like that.

Ah, and just treat that file as a "template", and use it to import the relevant conditions into the applicable docs' .fm files? I like that idea.
It would be easy to create a template_conditions_prod1.fm file, a template_conditions_prod2.fm file, and so on, and then just use those to make sure that every .fm file in a given book gets the same conditions.

And by extension, I could mimic this for other template elements, such as variables.

Thanks for the idea!
