Ive created a substack that i want to use as a template when creating new stacks. Ive looked in the dictionary and on google but the use of templatestack is very mysterious

never mind. was as simple as using the clone command

However you solve a problem in LC is perfectly valid. But there should be no mystery to using the templateStack. When you have your subStack just the way you want it, simply say;

set the ID of the templateStack to the ID of stack "yourSubStack"

This setting does not, I believe, survive sessions. But you can always save the properties of your substack in a custom property, and call it later when required, since custom properties do survive sessions.
