How to create a folder template in SharePointonline modern library?

Question

Hi,

I would like to create a drop down folder template from the New button in a SharePoint Library so as to create a uniform approach to folder creation.

I would like to create a folder with two other sub folders and have it sit in the New menu for users to select.

The only way I have discovered to achieve this ootb is to create a folder and then use the copy to function - copy to the current library and then rename the folder. This is not the ideal option, does anyone have suggestions?

However, we found you may try to first create a SharePoint List then use Power Automate to create the folder template in SharePoint online modern library. Like shown below:
