Story Points: 1

 Description   

Steps to reproduce:
1) Create template "test" and link existing "Template Module ICMP ping" to it.
2) Assign "test" template to host.
3) Go to "test" template and disable item which actually belongs to linked template.
(see video)

Result:
See result.log

Expected:
It would be nice for ability to disable linked template items through parent template if there is existing hosts already assigned to template.

Some good news: it is possible to disable linked template item through parent template if there is no hosts assigned to template.

We are getting the same issue since our migration to Zabbix 3.4.8. We can't make changes to discovery or enable/disable items from templates anymore.

We have to make all our changes at host level. Which is almost impossible when you have hundreds of hosts using the same template.

Is there any know workaround until this is fixed?

Thanks,

Aymeric

While the information on which version introduced the regression is missing, you can try the 3.4.7 frontend. You don't have to do full downgrade - just place that version of the frontend in another directory and point it at the same DB; then you can use this older version purely for the enabling/disabling purpose.

If some other version introduced the problem, you can step back in 3.4.x versions until you find one that works for you; the easiest way to do so might be from svn.

Thanks for the suggestion, I think I still have an archive of our 3.4.6 frontend.  I will fire it up on one of our box and see if that helps.

Thanks again,
