Need to be able to upload a template and have all dynically referenced templates be uploaded with it (inlcuding updating the dynamic references)

Currently we have to manually deploy 20+ templates from the local file system to the document builder server, then update the main template dynamic references to point to the new locations on the server. Each update takes approx 5 minutes to complete. This means that each update to the main template can take over an hour to complete. We have to push these to 5 seperate server instances so the total time to deploy is 5+ hours plus a lot of manual manipulation to ensure the typlates are linked correctly. This should be an automated process the server can do. It can also be optimised as minimal checking would need to occur as it is already included as part of the template and is NOT a new dynamic reference whicih the manaual process treats it as.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The IBM Engineering team has carefully reviewed this idea, and based on our understanding, it is not considered for change. Publishing Document Builder requires initial primary and reference templates are manually uploaded.
    Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository.  We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.
