Field "layoutTemplate" not updated when "uiTemplate" is updated

Description - The legacy field "layoutTemplate" has values for some users, but it is not updated when the new field "uiTemplate" is updated. This is causing issues for our older reports that utilize "layoutTemplate:name" to display a user's layout template. Requiring users to update all of their reports to use "uiTemplate" is not feasible. Since both "layoutTemplate" and "uiTemplate" has similar attributes available (ID, name, etc.), please make sure "layoutTemplate" table stays in sync with "uiTemplate".

 

Why is this feature important to you - to prevent reports using "layoutTemplate" from being broken

 

How would you like the feature to work - matching fields for "layoutTemplate" should be updated to match "uiTemplate"

 

Current Behaviour - "layoutTemplate" is not updated and only the previous values remain, creating confusion.

I would guess layoutTemplate will be a deprecated field at some point.

I would recommend updating your field in your reports to "effectiveUITemplate".

Backwards compatibility should only be an issue when the user can still use the old method. Since Classic no longer exists, this field no longer working is understandable.
