    Represents an editing template.
    Syntax
    Example
    Change Default Edit tool for a template
    public Task ChangeTemplateDefaultToolAsync(ArcGIS.Desktop.Mapping.FeatureLayer flayer,
                      string toolContentGUID, string templateName)
    {
      return ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Threading.Tasks.QueuedTask.Run(() =>
      {
    
        // retrieve the edit template form the layer by name
        var template = flayer?.GetTemplate(templateName) as ArcGIS.Desktop.Editing.Templates.EditingTemplate;
        // get the definition of the layer
        var layerDef = flayer?.GetDefinition() as ArcGIS.Core.CIM.CIMFeatureLayer;
        if ((template == null) || (layerDef == null))
          return;
    
        if (template.DefaultToolID != this.ID)
        {
          bool updateLayerDef = false;
          if (layerDef.AutoGenerateFeatureTemplates)
          {
            layerDef.AutoGenerateFeatureTemplates = false;
            updateLayerDef = true;
          }
    
          // retrieve the CIM edit template definition
          var templateDef = template.GetDefinition();
    
          // assign the GUID from the tool DAML definition, for example
          // <tool id="TestConstructionTool_SampleSDKTool" categoryRefID="esri_editing_construction_polyline" ….>
          //   <tooltip heading="">Tooltip text<disabledText /></tooltip>
          //   <content guid="e58239b3-9c69-49e5-ad4d-bb2ba29ff3ea" />
          // </tool>
          // then the toolContentGUID would be "e58239b3-9c69-49e5-ad4d-bb2ba29ff3ea"
    
          //At 2.x -
          //templateDef.ToolProgID = toolContentGUID;
          templateDef.DefaultToolGUID = toolContentGUID;
    
          // set the definition back to 
          template.SetDefinition(templateDef);
    
          // update the layer definition too
          if (updateLayerDef)
            flayer.SetDefinition(layerDef);
        }
      });
    }
    
    Hide or show editing tools on templates
    QueuedTask.Run(() =>
    {
      //hide all tools except line tool on layer
      var featLayer = MapView.Active.Map.FindLayers("Roads").First();
    
      var editTemplates = featLayer.GetTemplates();
      var newCIMEditingTemplates = new List<CIMEditingTemplate>();
    
      foreach (var et in editTemplates)
      {
        //initialize template by activating default tool
        et.ActivateDefaultToolAsync();
        var cimEditTemplate = et.GetDefinition();
        //get the visible tools on this template
        var allTools = et.ToolIDs.ToList();
        //add the hidden tools on this template
        allTools.AddRange(cimEditTemplate.GetExcludedToolIDs().ToList());
        //hide all the tools then allow the line tool
      
        //At 2.x -
        //allTools.AddRange(cimEditTemplate.GetExcludedToolDamlIds().ToList());
        allTools.AddRange(cimEditTemplate.GetExcludedToolIDs().ToList());
        
        //At 2.x - 
        //cimEditTemplate.SetExcludedToolDamlIds(allTools.ToArray());
        //cimEditTemplate.AllowToolDamlID("esri_editing_SketchLineTool");
        
        cimEditTemplate.SetExcludedToolIDs(allTools.ToArray());
        cimEditTemplate.AllowToolID("esri_editing_SketchLineTool");
        newCIMEditingTemplates.Add(cimEditTemplate);
      }
      //update the layer templates
      var layerDef = featLayer.GetDefinition() as CIMFeatureLayer;
      // Set AutoGenerateFeatureTemplates to false for template changes to stick
      layerDef.AutoGenerateFeatureTemplates = false;
      layerDef.FeatureTemplates = newCIMEditingTemplates.ToArray();
      featLayer.SetDefinition(layerDef);
    });
    Create New Table Template using table.CreateTemplate
    var table = MapView.Active.Map.GetStandaloneTablesAsFlattenedList().FirstOrDefault();
    if (table == null)
      return;
    QueuedTask.Run(() =>
    {
      var tableTemplate = table.GetTemplate("Template1");
      
      var definition = tableTemplate.GetDefinition();
      definition.Description = "New definition";
      definition.Name = "New name";
      //Create new table template using this definition
      table.CreateTemplate(definition);
    
      //You can also create a new table template using this extension method. You can use this method the same way you use the layer.CreateTemplate method.
      table.CreateTemplate("New template name", "Template description", tags: new string[] { "tag 1", "tag 2" });
    });
    Update a Table Template
    QueuedTask.Run(() =>
    {
      var tableTemplate = table.GetTemplate("Template1");
    
      var definition = tableTemplate.GetDefinition();
      definition.Description = "New definition";
      definition.Name = "New name";
      // update the definition
      tableTemplate.SetDefinition(definition);
    });
