Hi

it's not really clear what your question is about. Knowledge Articles which have been created based on a template are located in child tables of kb_knowledge. For example articles based on the "How to" templates are stored at the table kb_template_how_to. Fields which are individual for a template have to be placed on the form of course, but for OOTB templates they should. For example when creating a new How To article you see the "Instructions" field which comes from the article template:

On the other side, if you just open the list view of table kb_article you won't see the fields from the article templates as they are only available on the respective child table.

But when clicking on a record created based on a template you will be redirected to the child table and the correct form where the fields are visible again.
