Export dimension-specific values via templates

Users want the template engine to support dimensions, so that exports such as product data sheets can include values for multiple dimensions — like languages or channels — in a single output. Problem / Pain: The template engine currently has no awareness of dimensions. When a template is used to generate output — for example, a product data sheet — it only reflects the globally selected dimension at the time of export. It is not possible to define dimension-specific content within a template or to export values for multiple dimensions in parallel. Users who need multilingual or multi-channel output from a single template are therefore unable to do so and must work around this limitation manually. Impact / Benefit: Dimension support in the template engine would allow users to generate richer, more complete exports in a single step — for example, a product data sheet that includes content for multiple languages or output channels simultaneously. This would reduce manual effort, improve consistency, and make the export process significantly more efficient for teams managing multi-dimensional product content. Example use case: A PIM manager wants to generate a product data sheet that includes both the German and English product descriptions in one document. Currently the template engine only outputs the globally active dimension, requiring separate exports and manual merging.
