I think it's cool that we can specify the SNMP community name on a per item basis but making changes to this information is ineffecient for most users.
What i propose is that there be a field where you can set perhaps in the Administration section where by you can set a default SNMP community name.
If one exists for a particular item, it should use that. If not, it should use the default SNMP community name.
There really should be multiple times where you can change this ie:
globally(default)
per host group (effects all hosts in group. Overrides default setting)
per host (effects all items for a host. Overrides group and default settings)
per item (effects just that item on a host/template. Overrides host, group and default settings)
