@regina, thanks. node meta:template in file meta.xml was not found. I assume this is what is also shown in File > Properties > Tab General > Template (?) No Template Changer AND no linked templates is a show stopper, so back from 6.n to 5.n and since this did not help much: Package latest and greatest 5.4.7.2 from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ unzipped in ~/Downloads delete all from ~/.config/libreoffice sudo su apt-get remove --purge libreoffice* apt-get clean apt-get autoremove cd ~/Downloads/LibreOffice_5.4.7.2_Linux_x86-64_deb/DEBS/ dpkg -i *.deb In LO: Tools > Options > Paths > Templates > Added location of custom .ott When I create a document based on a standard template, template information is included Ditto when custom template is used. When I paste from a source, template information is blanked Time for Template Changer from https://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/resources-for-contributers/template-changer-extension/at_download/file (1.2.7d) Installed it Restarted Writer Assign Template to new document > select template > Ok and... Crash of LO Looping what is before in order to try 5.3.7.2 Same story, except first hanging and then crashing. So I installed the distro version 6.0.6.2 again without Template Changer. What I did now, is very carefully paste information from documentation. Added a field with template information for controlling the link. Part by part pasted, creating new TOC's, it works without breaking the template link. Considering the large amount of documents I maintain, it is all in all quite frustrating, but with a little progress fortunately. If I do grep on an unzipped and empty document with template "template-name", like grep -r -i "template-name" * I get only one result in meta.xml Maybe a stupid question, but does changing template information directly in meta.xml help in cases where I loose template links? In that case, BASH doing unzip sed and zip might be a hackish solution.
