Story Points:

Description

There are some inconveniences in the current implementation of configuration import. Specifically, template import without UUIDs fails in some cases. Also, there are valid use cases when UUID mismatch should not prevent configuration from importing. Additionally, the recent introduction of flat templates made it impossible for seamless template upgrades due to the fact dependent templates are unlinked and items are cleared before the new template is applied. We must make it easier for users.
