I've been attempting to design my own templates v7.0.19
I'm finding that envisioning the resulting citation output is a real issue.
One can't actually see a "trial" output without exporting the template to a project and entering some test data.
Making revisions, once one sees the result, is time-consuming.
It would be so handy to have a way of entering test data as part of the template design and having a preview of the result.

I would also love to see this added to FH. I have become pretty quick at editing a source template definition, synching it with my current project and then creating a source to test the results, but it is still time-consuming and cumbersome when all of that could be done from within the source template definition editor itself.

I'll add a third voice in support of this wish list request...like Sarah, I've became pretty adept at editing the template, exiting, checking it "live" and then returning to edit the template again, but it would certainly be helpful to see it live while working on it in the template editor. I have chronic carpal tunnel syndrome, so anything that saves me mouse clicks is very welcome.

I will add a fourth voice in support of this wish list request - once it is added to the project, I have found it "somewhat" quicker to edit the template in the Source Template Record and then once I feel it is correct, going back and syncing the Source Template Definitions with the Source Template . It would also be nice to have the format field in the Source Templates wrap similar to the Template Definitions windows.
