Seems like there is no way to keep templater effect on master comp after replicating.

Is there a way to not remove the templater effects from layers in master composition? Many time i need to revisit my projects and use templater again to add more replicas variants, but there is no simple way to do that. I need to re-add all the templater effects to the layers that need to be changed in new replicas.
I have went through all the settings, and all the checkboxes related to removing effects are unchecked. To be precise i believe there is only one such checkbox, and its about replicas’ layers, not the master/target composition. (And its not working as intended, as all the replicas has their templater effects removed, even tho the checkbox is unchecked)
Would be lovely to have checkbox about keeping templater settings/effects in target comp.
Kind regards,

Hmmm. That’s quite odd. Templater shouldn’t have any mechanisms to remove the Templater Settings Effect from the main Project file during the reversioning process. The only thing I can think of that might cause this sort of thing would be if there was some sort of error in AE that caused the file not to be saved properly once Templater was added to the layers in question.
One thing we might try would be to clear the After Effects Preferences just to make sure that there’s not some sort of setting there that’s causing an issue.
If that doesn’t change what you’re seeing, we’ll probably need to take a look at the templater.log and templater.err files to see if we can find any information there that might help to narrow things down. We’ll also likely need to get some information about the version of Templater and AE we’re running, as well as the license key.
Given that this information could contain potentially sensitive details, you might want to email us directly at support@dataclay.com rather than posting here.
Let us know how it goes and we’ll see where we need to go from there.
Thanks,

@Jeff Thank you Jeff for the quick reply!
I have just checked another project i have been working on today, and indeed on this project the templater settings effect remained on the target composition’s inner comps’ layers after creating variants. Thats indeed odd. I will come back to you, after i encounter that strange behavior again. Perhaps will be able to pinpoint the reason aswell. I thought thats just how it was coded - that its default behavior for some reason. Apologies for the confusion.
