Hello:
 
I have a custom Excel template I am looking to make available with the General journals form, specifically within the Open lines in Excel dropdown. This new template is a modification (adding a few additional fields) of an existing template, but I do not want to replace the existing template. I haven't had any success uploading it through Document templates. I understand this may require X++ code? 
 
Thanks

    Through document template , you might need to select the legal entity while upload and keep the name same as data entity name which you would exported. This can show both standard and new one

    Yes, you're right. To add a custom Excel template to the "Open lines in Excel" dropdown in Dynamics 365 Finance, this can indeed require some X++ customization
     
    Thanks

    You most likely need to make a customization for it, 
    I wrote a blog post about how to do it with inventory journals some time ago, but it should work the same as with general journals: https://melgaard.nu/missing-excel-templates-in-inventory-journals/
