Unchecking multiple doc templates in Docusign Gen for Salesforce

My org uses Docusign Gen for Salesforce to generate contracts and send them for esignature. Most of these contracts originate from the “Contract” object in Salesforce, but the documents themselves can vary greatly depending on the details of the contract in question. Our current solution has been to upload many, many different formatted Word docs into the same Docusign Gen Template. This way, there’s only a single button on the record page, and the end user is able to select which specific template(s) to use. The issue is, of course, the number of templates has started to balloon and is now a bit of a concern. Below is an example of what our end users are seeing:

All of these options always default as checked, so every time someone wants to generate a doc, they must uncheck each template they don’t want to use. This has ended up being very time-consuming, especially when working with hundreds of contracts. My question is this: is there (or could there be?) any setting that defaults these options as unchecked instead of checked? That would greatly improve this process.

I also understand that the way we’re doing it could potentially be improved. We just have so many different types of contracts and so many variations on the object itself, that it gets very thorny very quickly, so our preference is to let end users make these decisions.
