Which Production Sheets (from AP) are used when downloading

If you have no template sheet created in the admin panel for a given service, then the default template from the codebase will be used
If exactly one template sheet is created, then there will be no dropdown and this one will be used
If you have more than one template defined, then a dropdown will be shown and you will be able to choose

Exclusion

Sheets with the name parts/production_sheet_by_job.html are always excluded, so they will not count

Problem with defining only one production sheet per service

Mind, that if you will have only one sheet created for a given service, it will be used for to download all of the sheet types.
It can lead to a situation where you will use the Part production sheet to download the Job production sheet.
In this scenario you either need to define the additional Sequence and Job sheets or not define any sheets.

New in 23.6.0

sheets with name parts/production_sheet_by_job.html are no longer excluded
sheets are filtered by type. For example, only sheets with the type Job will be considered while downloading Job Production Sheets on the job detail page.
It means that the problem with defining only one sheet per service is no longer applicable.
