No one I know has suggested that that is improper. As I stated previously, the device of filling blanks may or not be appropriate here. I have no way of knowing, since I don’t know what the options are. The text notes that “Among cases adapted to such treatment are main motions or primary amendments containing names of persons or places, dates, numbers, or amounts.” (RONR, 11th ed., pg. 163) If these options are simply different “names of persons or places, dates, numbers, or amounts,” or other similar items, then the device of filling blanks is appropriate. If they are each an independent main motion with substantial differences between them, however, them the device of filling blanks is not appropriate.
