forms.saveTemplate
Create a form template (an inspection, a safety sheet, a start-up report), or replace one (give form_template_id). Fields are in order; types: heading, text, long_text, number, yes_no, choice, multi_choice, date, photos. Forms already started keep their own copy. Owner or office.

When to use it
Keep form templates (forms.saveTemplate: ordered fields of type heading, text, long_text, number, yes_no, choice, multi_choice, date or photos, each optionally required). Start a form on a job or one visit (forms.start) from a template, from an earlier form (copy_from_form_id, which also carries its answers), or with fields given on the spot; the form keeps its own copy of the fields.
What to tell the owner
Say what you did in plain words and what happens next.
