The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.Problem/Motivation
The YAML form module should ships with ability to copy starter templates. Currently, there are only a few templates available. The YAML form should include a dozen or so starter starter templates.
Proposed resolution
Encourage the Drupal community to start contributing templates back to the YAML Form module
Notes
Starter templates should be...
- Generic but focused on a single use case
- Easy to customize
- Easy to delete elements and containers
Approach
- Templates should be uploaded to a dedicated tickets
- Templates should be reviewed by community
- Templates can be continually updated.
Todo...
- Define standards and guidelines for starter templates
Possible Starter Template
- Registration
- Employment Application
- Employee Evaluation
- Employee Satisfaction Survey
- Event Satisfaction Survey
- Education Application
- Event Registration
- Contact Information
- Issue Tracking
- Order Form
- Time Sheet

lomale@bluewin.ch commentedHi can you tell me, how you expect the starter template.
Now I have one - but i have to rebuild it as a general universal variant. I mean I have to adapt the terms.
but then should I post it as Source YAML code ??
and could i get help to shape the display email submission answer to the registrant.
or is the email handler data not included in the template ??
Thanks for your answer

jrockowitz commentedAlso, you might want to consider improving an existing template.

kclarkson commented@jrockowitz,
Here is a blog post by Four Kitchens regarding using YAML Form as an event registration system. https://www.fourkitchens.com/blog/article/getting-nyu-yaml-form
I am also looking to do the same thing. In the blog post they mention there is no current way to have a "default" form for an event content type but then be able to customize that one form if need be.
Would this be some sort of template that is needed?
They mentioned in their blog post that they were able to get it working with some custom code and am curious if you have an idea of how it was accomplished.
Thanks again
Kaleem

jrockowitz commentedFour Kitchens seems to be looking for a form to 'inherit' the elements and settings from a parent form.
Templates are copies of a form with no reference or relationship to the original form.

jrockowitz commentedI am closing this since any updates to an existing template or the adding of a new template should be handle in a new ticket for each template.
