Is it possible to use multiple description templates in the same JPD idea?

I know you can use available description templates in JPD ideas or create custom templates to meet your specific needs. However, I can't find any information on whether you can use more than one description template in the same idea.

Is it possible to use multiple JPD idea description templates in the same idea? 

If so, are there any special considerations or instructions for using more than one template? (e.g., can you select which one displays first or second)

 

If it's not possible to use multiple description templates in the same JPD idea, I'm presuming the best practice is to create a template with everything you need in one? (Although that still doesn't solve for the ordering issue - except by creating a template for each possible ordering variation.)

Basically template is a text, so you can always copy & paste it anywhere you want.

In my quick check, you can use templates one after another (it looks like it creates a new block, so it won't fit the template in 1cell of the table, but will start in new line)

If you need specific order (or cover other needs/requirements) - just create a new template.

 

However, if you are thinking about creating something like a project card for the idea, where you will be using some simple values, then ... don't put it in description: use some fields to group it, then you will be able to easily filter those specific ideas.
