Page Template: Saving template and going back to the post content screen.

[paaljoachim]

After saving a page template one is returned to the post content screen.
I have mixed in multiple adjustments in this issue. These really need to be made into separate issues.

It currently looks like this:

Here are some variants.
Version 1.

Version 2. This is a very crude mini modal/popup. Using a similar UI as clicking Public and Immediately.

Click-movie-template-sidebar-item-open-popup.mp4

Changes seen:
1- Add a template wrapper around the page template seen in the post content screen.
2- Make the Move template sidebar item clickable similar to Public and Immediately. With the following options:
Edit - New - Reset - Delete.
3- Selected page template is also selected in the Page Attributes Template drop down. #31101

Regarding deleting templates.
#31076

1- Add a template wrapper around the page template seen in the post content screen.

This is an interesting idea, but without actually seeing the contents of the template I'm not sure what the value is? Unless you're editing the template, or have expressly requested to see the template in the context of post editing (something like #27847), then I worry this will only create unnecessary distractions in the post editing UX.

2- Make the Move template sidebar item clickable similar to Public and Immediately.

I think these are different interactions that should probably not be mixed. In the case of the visibility and publish dropdowns you are making a configuration. The template dropdown executes actions, so probably warrants a different UI.

Worth pointing out at this point that the template selector has been moved to it's own section in the Inspector:

The reason for the Movie template is so visible in the post content screen, is that if the user decides on using a Page template it needs to be pretty obvious that it is there. Actually the content made in the Page template content area should be seen in the Post content screen as if it was a Reusable block. As it shows the content added in the Page template. The user might also add content in the post screen. So that post content made in the post screen would show up above or below the template post content.

This sounds very similar to #27847. Worth reading Riad's latest reply there :)
