[Users] Template restore

[Alex Leonhardt]

FWIW, a screenshot that i cannot create a "copy" of the template either -
and I have verified mulitple tims that the host name does not go beyond 40
chars incl. the suffix - the template name does have "."s in its name
though (like a normal FQDN).

See attached.
