Replace From Track Template - Has it ever worked?

[Magic Russ]

Over the course of time, I have made a few track templates containing a simple instrument track.  

If I add an instrument track into a project, and then decide to right click on the track and select "Replace From Track Template" and select one of my single-instrument track templates, I always get an error similar to the following

Track template 'R6 Monark Lead' is incompatible with this track type.

Why might I be getting this error?  I might understand if it got confused by sends or routing but this is a situation where you have an instrument track going straight to master.

I was curious about this "Replace From Track Template"   So I opened cake and gave it a try.

 

Created two types of "Instrument" tracks

1) instrument with midi track (both created at same time

2) instrument with  only "omni" input

I could not get the template replacement to work . . .  nor did I find a good explanation of the error message . . .
