We have a list containing many fields. However, for some cases, the content of some fields are always the same. We would like to create several templates (with different defaults values on some fields) for users to start with when they create an new item in that list.

The easiest way to do this is simply to add a Default Value to the definition of the field within your list through: Settings/List Settings Click the column. Set the default value. Then when users create new records, the default values will automatically be used. If you're concerned that users may populate the field on a new entry, you can alway customize the NewForm.aspx following this guide: http://www.cjvandyk.com/blog/Articles/How%20do%20I%20-%20Customize%20the%20NewForm.aspx%20or%20EditForm.aspx%20of%20my%20SharePoint%20list.aspx I trust that answers your question...

Hi, There is no list item template function in current version of SharePoint. However, you can try to use workflow to help set the values depending on the users or the flag field that you can create in your list to let users to select. Or you can develop your own newform.aspx and editform.aspx pages if you are familiar with developing. Hope it is helpful! Seven
