Let's say I have template A and B which are separate templates, and neither is linked to the other.
However, template A has a dependency on one or more triggers on template B.
These are installed on hundreds of servers and working.
I'd like to fix it so Template B is linked to A, so people do not get confused in setting up hosts. Now this is simple in principle but how do you do it when you have all these hosts? Without leaving orphan items littered around in particular.
I can't remove template B from a host because of the trigger dependencies (at least without removing A first as well).
I can't link the two, as when you try it complains that the template is being added to all those hosts a second time.
I think I can delete both templates from all hosts and re-add, but that's a lot of items that get lost.
EVERY host has the template I want to link already, explicitly. I just want to change it to implicitly by a linked template instead of two separately added templates.
Is there any path to doing so short of deleting both templates from all hosts, linking, and re-adding?
(It's actually worse than this as there are really a bunch of "A" templates, all with dependencies on B, that I want to do this to).
