Have todo custom fields be a part of release templates

What is the challenge?

Same as this idea, but for todos - https://big.ideas.aha.io/ideas/A-I-16116

There is now support for custom fields on todos, but these cannot be set within a release phase template. For teams using Aha! for project management, this means my sophisticated release templates utilizing todos with custom fields cannot be supported as a template.

What is the impact?

To support this, I need to use a parking lot release I copy as a template instead. This is a more complex workflow to create my template, and todo dates do not dynamically update like with release templates so I need to manually update dates for every todo. This is not feasible when I have a complex project plan.

Describe your idea

Support adding custom fields on todos in release phase templates.

    https://big.ideas.aha.io/ideas/APP-I-2291 saw the addition of custom fields to to-dos which is great. We have added one for 'department responsible' so we can use this in reporting however it is not possible to set this up when creating to-dos in a Release Template.

    We use Release Templates heavily but this means once a release is set up, we will need to set the 'department responsible' (or other similar type of custom field) manually.
