Change Request Templates?

Has anyone been able to create Change Request Templates? The Template group (Org > Templates) is "Change Objects" which hints at the capability being available for all Change objects, but when I try it out I only get the option to create a Change Notice Template.

Ultimately what I'm trying to do is have an empty form as an Attachment for each Change Request that gets created. It seems a shame to store the form outside of Windchill, but I don't want to make it a persisted (Primary Content of a WTDocument) Object as that is a bit overkill for the use case.

I too am trying to make this work. There are some forms that my customer needs to fill out and would like to be always associated with the Change Request by default (blank). Can't seem to figure out how to get the template option for the Change Request either. Have you been able to figure this out?

I am on Windchill 10.2 M020

Not as envisioned, but what I was able to programmatically add an attachment which would be the same net effect.

Why not just have the New Change Request wizard have the selection boxes/radio buttons in it?

If you use this method, the entered data is found on the Details page of the Change Request.

For my use case I was capturing the Proposed Solution when the CR is initially submitted, allowing the Proposed Solution to evolve and be interpreted as the Approved Solution when the CR reaches a given (equivalent to Approved) State.

Also - I'm not overly enamored with the "Undefined" option that shows up for a Boolean rendered as radio buttons even if default is set (If I've missed something and there is a way for only Yes or No to appear please let me know)

There is definitely a way to get 'Undefined' not to show up. I'm still in the implementation phase for CRs but none of my radio button have it. Unfortunately I don't remember off hand what method I used to get rid of 'Undefined'.
