When you say "saved" do you mean saved or do you mean Preserved? They have to be named and Preserved. Saving is optional. For what you want to happen you must save your template when you have done the above things.
I would suggest that you build a new, really simple (just a couple of instruments) template for testing purposes to see if this works properly. Then you might be able to figure out what is different with your normal working template.
