Hi there,

Templates are an easy way to process both rights, locations, etc

But it became very difficult to manage if you want to apply different kind of locations / creators / rights: we have to create a full template each time.
For example if I wants to apply two kind of license files (creative commons, and full copyrighted) for 2 creators, I have to create 4 templates.
If we also add the locations inside, the number of templates will grow very quickly.

With separate rights, creators data and locations would be very useful to reduce number of templates.
