Dynamic Updates to SolutionTemplates

[ysknkd]

SolutionTemplates are very useful, but the current requirement for a deployment when adding a new template introduces a lead time from when a user requests an addition to when it is deployed. I was wondering if there are any plans or considerations for enabling Solution Templates to be dynamically updated in the future. Do you have any plans for this?
