Ticket #6065, comment 6
initial v1 1 1 This is testing pretty well for me too. 2 2 3 For additional clarity as to the purpose of this change there is a use case where non tec nical users will visit these BP 'pages' and being familiar with how WP handles pages do make the understandable assumption that they can make use of listed templates in the dropdown, now we explain that this doesn't work and to overload / copy files to a new folder etc etc, however this can be a step too far or further than those users want to take or understand. This change thus will serve two purposes it will make it super easy for users to simply modify the BP screens and bring BP further into line with WP functionality, BP is no longer by-passing something expected and provided by WP but now works with template selection.3 For additional clarity as to the purpose of this change there is a use case where non technical users will visit these BP 'pages' and being familiar with how WP handles pages do make the understandable assumption that they can make use of listed templates in the dropdown, now we explain that this doesn't work and to overload / copy files to a new folder etc etc, however this can be a step too far or further than those users want to take or understand.
