Scrapbook as content templates
Permalink
I have a news/updates page as my project's frontpage, and it lists updates as content block's styled text.
On the content area I have first a block with the header title. Then I would like to have a separate content block for every news item, so my client could easily add a new item from template scrapbook block.
But I have bumped into a problem. All blocks I add from the scrapbook gets added as global instances. Even from my admin account's personal scrapbook, even though that should be "personal" and not added as instantiated global... Any ideas for the cause? :)

NOTE: Because you're aliasing the original block, if you try to place the same block many times in the same page only the first one will actually stay when you save your changes. This is admittedly annoying problem if you've got a block that needs to be repeated inside the same page a lot. It's just the product of the way this feature has matured and not a brilliant plan you don't understand. Best advice, use the personal scrapbook for this type of problem where every block you make is a new instance.

But using the personal scrapbook is not helping at all. The blocks there may not be global and being an instance of the original block in the scrapbook, but you STILL can just add one occurrence per site.
We want to give our clients for each project some templates on the way, for example a minitemplate for their workers (table with image on the left and Info scheme on the right. If the scrapbook could be inserted multiple times then this would be perfect. If not then I don't know how to do that without a lot of hassle.
