Changing template of virtual server

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Version of the product: 2.0
Server OS: CentOS 5.5

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a machine with a template (ie. 256 MB memory and 10 GB storage)
2. Change the template for the virtual server (ie. to one with more memory and 
more storage)

OR

1. Create a machine with a template
2. Update the template configuration

Actual result:

The settings from the new template is not loaded in to the virtual server.

Shouldn't this happend? Also, if I upgrade a template, shouldn't it 
automatically update the existing servers with the actual template (maybe 
except if the virtual server is using more storage than the new template is 
configured with) ?

Otherwise, love the product!

Template works as template and is applying only on new machine creation. 
Changing of template doesn't affect created machines. This is by design.

Since we can change Template on list of existing VPS then any update on 
template must affect to existing VPSs.

Please fix your "by design" flow.

Probably to be safe and backward compatible, need to introduce "Sync" button. 
So changing of template values doesn't automatically affect existing machines. 
But you'll have the possibility to sync VMs with template by clicking separate 
button.
