## What Jamie wrote

I've been eagerly waiting for this feature to come to OmniFocus for a while. I've been [using project templates](https://www.thingelstad.com/2017/05/19/using-project-templates.html) for a while, and those are a great candidate to implement with this Automation. I've already got a list of a number of templates, and more complicated automations that I've done with Shortcuts, that I know I can make more powerful by writing it in Automation.
