Part of this feature is already available. When you create a host you can first select the "Add" button. You then set the new host as "NEWHOST=COPYHOST". This creates NEWHOST and copies the config from COPYHOST. You could create dummy hosts for each machine type (with backups disabled) or just use a live machine as the COPYHOST. > Taking it a step further......when you select a template, before it > applies it prompts you with a list of those changes in the template, > giving you the ability to override or exclude some or all of the > template settings. This isn't implemented currently and would take quite a bit of effort. It's probably not much faster looking through a list of which settings you want to accept from the template, versus just looking at the settings themselves.
