Description Luís Alexandre 2023-08-31 14:08:54 UTC 
I was trying to override the libreoffice templates that my distro provides with local ones that I modified (so they won't get overwritten on updates) but this doesn't seem to work. Also it seems that KDE detects that a template is the same by having the same URL field in the .desktop file. Which means if they have the same relative URL they'll be treated as the same template. A workaround for now is to remove libreoffice-plasma package so that there are no templates in /usr/share/templates

Inverting the order of the templates when adding templates might be sufficient:
