Design: templates should allow onyo pseudo keys and `<labels>` #721

Open aqw opened 2 weeks ago

This came out of a conversation that Ben and I had, that built on some ideas that Tobias and I had been talking about awhile ago:

Templates and Assets are basically the same thing. It's just that some validation rules do not apply for templates:

pseudo keys are allowed
<labels> are allowed (or do we call them tags)?
keys and values in the asset-name do not need to be set
other asset-level validation are not applied

All assets can be used as template, but not all templates are an asset.

Another way of looking at this:

everything that can be passed to --keys can be used in a template (and thus also --yaml, etc)
