For individual test case, the syntax is:

```python
***Test Cases***
Other templated test
    [Template] Other Template
    data field 1 data field 2

```

Described [here in the user guide](https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#basic-usage):

> As the example illustrates, it is possible to specify the template for an individual test case using the [Template] setting. An alternative approach is using the Test Template setting in the Setting section, in which case the template is applied for all test cases in that test case file. The [Template] setting overrides the possible template set in the Setting section, and an empty value for [Template] means that the test has no template even when Test Template is used. It is also possible to use value NONE to indicate that a test has no template.

I mostly wanted to mention the empty and NONE value, which might be of interest for you too.
