Can Summary section be different in two Test Plan Templates?

I am trying to create two test plan templates. One simple and the other one is more comprehensive. In the comprehensive one, I added more categories in the Summary section. However, I notices that the Summary section is the same for al test plan templates. Is there any way I can have two or more different Summary sections for different test plan template? Looks like the test plan template in RQM 2.0.0.1 can only customize the number of sections but not the content of the sections. Am I correct? Any workaround? Thanks!

We've provided much more template customization capability as recent as RQM 4.0.3 (see https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-quality-manager/releases/4.0.3?p=news#TOC_B_a) but custom attributes still apply to all test artifacts of a given type and are tied to the Summary section.
Scoping categories and custom attributes to a template is an interesting idea.

Currently, summary section is shared by all test plan templates.  Custom attributes and categories only show up in the Summary section and as such will show up in all test plan templates.

Scoping custom attributes to a particular template, or making them mandatory for a given template, are interesting use cases and would make for a good enhancement request.

I would check out https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-quality-manager/releases/4.0.3?p=news#TOC_B_a for some details on what we have changed in templates recently in RQM 4.0.3.
