There are already 2 mechanisms that can be leveraged in order to handle this use case: - The ability to restrict a template to a given space -> the ColorTheme template could be provided only in the ColorThemes space for instance - The $blacklistedSpaces variable -> it's already used to hide technical spaces. Coupled with the above mechanism, it could be sufficient Thus I'm not sure that we need an additional field. Let's first use (and if needed improve) the existing mechanisms.
