Store Template File ID in table

[PhilTeare]

Hello,

I'm using many google docs as templates in automation. It seems like I have to set the Template explicitly in automation - i.e. specify the exact file.

I would prefer to have it look up the google doc id from a table in my app instead (so the users can create new templates and add them all on their own).

Is this possible? When I try putting a reference to the table column in there it throws an error for me.

Any ideas or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Explicitly stating the Doc Id works:

Stating the column that stores the doc Id does not work:

giving this error: 
Task: 'Task for CreatePdf' Template Type: 'Body' could not be read due to FileMimeType 'application/octet-stream' is unexpected.

I believe currently selection of templates on the fly with a selection logic is not possible. You will need to specify those by the file ID.

Thanks, that was my suspicious. That's a shame, it would be a great new feature to have. thanks for the help.
