Option to set up a template to open with a default file name
Add a check box when saving an indesign template that would allow you to create a default file name.
For example, when I create a business card template for our company to use, I save the template as "Business Card (Name)" but when the template is opened it opens as "Untitled-1"
Having an option to save the template to open as "Business Card (Name)" but also require the designer to use Save As when they are finished entering the information would help to ensure file naming consistency for a specific type of file across the whole design team.

This would be helpful for me as I do a lot of monthly mailers for clients, so having a template makes the setup easy, but when it comes to naming conventions, it would be nice to set a default like "Client Name - [Date] - XL Postcard" and then just replace [Date] with the month and year, instead of typing out the whole thing or clicking 15-extra times for a work-around.
