Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Some users would like to create multiple tables with the same settings, but the included tables do not offer a close representation of what they want. This forces them to create each table from scratch.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a feature to save a current table as a template.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Spreadsheets - ugh...

Additional context

In my case. I'm using tables to keep a maintenance log for vehicles and equipment. Each vehicle gets it's own table, but the tables are identical in structure. Adding a vehicle or equipment is time consuming. It would be great if I could do it once, then save it as a template, ready for the next vehicle.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how tables are currently created and stored, then determine the scope of saving and reusing a table as a template. Done should include an agreed workflow and coverage for creating multiple tables from a saved template.
