Add a 'Details' tab to the Attribute Manager so that details can be easily swapped in and out of a template file of details. Adding a detail would automatically create the New Independent Detail in the Project Map and View Map so they would be ready to be placed on a layout.
Linking a detail via the 'Import View' is a bit antiquated and seems to never have really worked and is one detail at a time. Using the proposed Attribute Manager approach would make the details native to the job .pln file and not linked.
Below is a simple mockup, with previews and View Map list (here showing a detail with notes/dims to overwrite an unfinished template version as the remote file). This presumes a simple .pln file as a detail template. Multiple details could be imported at a time.
The blue text could be a next-level addition with more CAD Management where users could submit details to be templatized.
I submitted this to the old forum over a decade ago and it had positive response. We have had our template bloat over time as we have not wanted to keep creating New Independent Detail, copy/paste, and repeat ad nauseum.
