Cell driven macro to copy a template sheet to other sheets

I have a macro for copying a template worksheet and pasting it over specific sheets when a named cell (Overwrite_Sheetn) says "Yes".
It's not elegant, and only works some of the time.
For some reason some of the sheets won't copy and paste the template file.
I have 20 sheets that can be overwritten (Overwrite_Sheet1 to Overwrite_Sheet20)

NB: The below snippet is only showing the first three instances.

VBA Code:
Sub Copy_Template()
'
' 7.0 Template_Copy Macro
'
'
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    
If [Overwrite_Sheet1] = "Yes" Then
    Sheets("Template").Select
    Cells.Select
    Selection.Copy
    Worksheets(1).Select
    Cells.Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
End If

If [Overwrite_Sheet2] = "Yes" Then
    Sheets("Template").Select
    Cells.Select
    Selection.Copy
    Worksheets(2).Select
    Cells.Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
End If

If [Overwrite_Sheet3] = "Yes" Then
    Sheets("Template").Select
    Cells.Select
    Selection.Copy
    Worksheets(3).Select
    Cells.Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
End If

    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub


Can someone point out where I'm going wrong?

Or is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks

Hello,

does this work as expected?

VBA Code:
Sub Copy_Template()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    For MY_SHEET = 1 To 2 '20
        If Range("OverwriteSheet" & MY_SHEET).Value = "YES" Then
            Sheets("Template").Select
            Cells.Select
            Selection.Copy
            Worksheets("Overwritesheet" & MY_SHEET).Select
            Cells.Select
            ActiveSheet.Paste
        End If
    Next MY_SHEET
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

there may be many reasons why some sheets don't get copies.
