Hello,

I assume we are talking about WordPress built-in page attribute "Template", it is using a custom post field "_wp_page_template"
If it is, it is possible with some custom codes, for example
1) in the post form for creating pages, add a generic select field:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/forms/cred-shortcodes/#cred_generic_field
Let users to choose the page template

2) Use action hook cred_save_data to save "_wp_page_template" value into database as a post field.

More help:

I mean TOOLSET page templates.
Does it work like that?

Yes, Toolset Content Template is using a custom post field "_views_template" to store value, you just need to store the correct content template ID into that post field.
