I am trying to to autofill my Google Docs template custom placeholders but they just do not appear when trying to use “Create Document from Template”.
What am I doing wrong here?

Ah, nothing to be embarrassed about,
To sum it up though in this particular case, the answer was a template mix up but some good troubleshooting steps to take as Troy pointed out are:
Us[ing] the ‘custom’ option to put the static ID of the GDoc Template that is found in the browser URL.

Hi
Good question.
Try this workaround.
Use the ‘custom’ option to put the static ID of the GDoc Template that is found in the browser URL.

Sorry, now I don’t understand. 🙈

Please clarify what part(s) you don’t understand.
If you paste the URL of the GDoc template here, then I can indicate the GDoc ID.
