Variation on itimpi & Adoby suggestions

Put the journal templates into a separate physical library (as empty books - ie no format files), to create a new item copy the template for the relevant Journal from the template library (right click journal template, select Copy to library->'journal library')

Then switch to the 'journal library' and fill in the blanks, and copy the format file to the book perhaps by drag/drop onto book details panel.

Just tested it, works fine - you may need a means to identify the 'copied' templates in your 'journal library', in my case a search on - title:"Unknown" - does the trick.

PS the Template library will need to be a clone of your journal library - you do that when you create the library
