Bug description
Create a new office document or text document in Nextcloud. The document creation dialog only ask for the filename but doesn't let me chose one of the Templates from the "Templates" folder
Happens to me on c.nc.com. On a fresh setup LTD it seems to work but this is also a older version (30.0.10) while c.cn.com runs on 31.0.4
Steps to reproduce
- Make sure to have a "Templates" folder with some templates
- Create a new document
- You get only asked for a filename:
Expected behavior
I can chose a Template for the new document

Research direction
Start by reproducing the problem from the document creation dialog with a Templates folder containing templates, using the reported Nextcloud 31 setup. Inspect the dialog and template-selection entry point; done means creating a new office or text document offers the available templates. No files or tests are named in the issue, so identifying the relevant code and adding coverage will require repository research.
