Seems like a bug with order form templates

[SamS1]

Hi,

Been trying all day to get this to work but posting here now as found a weird thing which seems like a bug. I've been using a standard_cart child theme for the order form and wanted to switch to the premium_comparison theme. Like before I copied the premium_comparison and testing it using, ?carttpl and it would just give me a blank page with no product comparison. 

Logs show: Smarty Error: Default handler: No template default content for 'file:orderforms/premium_comparison/recommendations-modal.tpl'

But all I did was just copy the premium_comparison folder so why would it not work. This is where it gets weird. In 'general' setting and 'ordering' tab, i still have the current custom_standard_cart order form template selected and in product/services for the web hosting group, it is set to use the system default for the order form but for some reason it shows the new custom_premium_comparison template that i'm just testing with ?carttpl.

If I go back to general setting and just hit save, it then show it correctly in product group but the minute I test with ?carttpl, it changes it again.

Not sure if the two issues are related but pulling hair out trying to figure out why I can't get the premium_comparison to work. 🥵

Edit: ok so adding to the weirdness lol, I checked the product.tpl file in the premium_comparison folder and it references at the bottom to: {include file="orderforms/premium_comparison/recommendations-modal.tpl"} but that file does not exist in that location and exists in the standard_cart folder. But even then, why does the original premium_comparison work but not the 100% copy of it 🤬

Edit 2: Changed the line in product.tpl {include file="orderforms/premium_comparison/recommendations-modal.tpl"} in my copy to reference my copy and now this part works. Not sure why when that file is not even in that location but hey it works now. The other issue I mentioned does seem like a bug but glad I kept at it and got this working.
