I'm quite happy for that "not yet".

One image at time is too limiting.

I agree, especially when the "Rights" set of fields is concerned. These repeats
in patterns and here the templates are logical and very beneficial approach.

Though the "Location" datas don't appear repeatedly in such patterns as
"Rights" and there are extremely too much of variants of
country>city>province>sublocation possible. I can hardly imagine to create
template for every place I go to take photographs. While there are  some cases
when photographer goes again and again to the same places I suppose more often
the photographer - once he is satisfied with the job he made on one place -
goes to another new spot to snap what's there. And that's why the palces don't
repat so much as author do...

Anyway if the editing from sidebar is on the development radar, I think I can
live some time with extra clicks to dial and apply templates just for one use
only...
