This is aggravating.
I just created a new short story today… and once again no character or setting templates. They come up blank.
Just to make sure I opened up my short story from last month and I can make new character templates with the default content with no problem.
Anyone?
Is there a folder “Template Sheets” in the binder? Then you should get a new sheet using right-click in the binder (or the green [+] button in the toolbar).
Scrivener just makes a copy from your template to create a new item. So may be your project has a broken(empty) template file? You can add your own templates easily …
