[Evergreen-catalogers] Item template issue in 2.3.4

[Tina Ji (Project Sitka)]

We had a couple of similar incidents on 2.2.X with the same symptom as  
you described. We ended up with creating the template from scratch,  
which means not applying any template, but setting up the field values  
directly once the Copy Editor is open. If I remember correctly, in one  
case we used the old template name with a success.

> If you  want to create a template from an existing template and change the
> Location/Collection under Location (1), that change does not always
> persist after saving the template with a new name. Other attributes do
> persist if changed. Sometimes, the Location/Collection does change and
> sometimes checking back later finds the changes have propagated. Other
> times not. When we look at the exported templates, some of the changed
> templates show the changed Location/Collection and some do not. Those that
> do don't necessarily show the changed template when it is applied in the
> copy editor. For example:

> For both of the above templates, based on the changed location in the copy
> editor, the value for the location should be the same. Test location issue
> has retained the value of the original template (and, yes, I did apply
> before I saved the new template). To make matters even odder, when I apply
> test template issue 2 in the copy editor, it does not apply the location
> for 2587 (magazine), it applies 4133 (stacks).
