I would like too see some better handling of trigger configuration.
First of all why does a trigger is only added on a per host basis?
I can add triggers on a group but in real they are all added per host.
I think of some better handling triggers in templates like it already works with items.
The dependency trigger -> item should be kept of course.

What i wish for meantime would be some better sorting the triggers via groups in configuration.
When sorting triggers I can choose specific group. But when choosing hosts = all it shows also triggers not in group.

I do not think this is a good way of doing configuration. Use of templates is much more efficient and maintenance friendly approach. Add a trigger to a template, update it afterwards and hundreds of related hosts will be automatically updated as well!

What is also annoying ist that if you have triggers which or throws action on hosts (because the service is not available) then you have to keep that trigger in mind (from the monitoring section) and need to go to configuration section and perform disabling/deleting. Better would be to have the options delete/disable in monitoring or at least a jump button to configuration for the selected triggers.
