Flexible template adjustment in the UI
As a network administrator managing multiple similar devices, I want to modify existing device templates by adding new sensors or adjusting thresholds directly in the web interface, so that I can maintain consistent monitoring standards without recreating templates from scratch every time requirements change.

This would be great to see implemented, currently managing the device templates just via file explorer is not ideal for several reasons:
1. An additional file location the PRTG users need to be aware of instead of a single place of tasks (Web-UI)
2. The PRTG users need to know the file structure of the device template
3. I have to share the folder via network to the users, which is an additional administrative task and also a security risk due to direct access to the PRTG server program files folderIt would also be great if renaming and deleting device templates would be possible via Web-UI.
