Create a work order task template

Create a standalone work order task template, which can be used by different work order templates to create the same task for their work orders. It saves you the effort of creating the same task template every time for each work order template.

Before you begin

You must activate the Template Management for Field Service plugin (com.snc.fsm_template_management).
