I need to be able to create a card in a specific stack by copying it from a "template" card in that same stack, in other words, the new card should have all the same fields and layout of the template card. I am not in the stack in question when I need to do this.

I got as far as setting the defaultStack and using the create command but that just create an empty card.

Could someone enlighten me please!

Thanks,
Pete

try

copy card "template"
paste

Thanks, that got me on the right track. Seems that your can copy an object to another object so I didn;t need the paste. But do need to rename the new card with set Title afterwards.
