Feature Requests: Easy Templates

Currently, there is no way to manage linked issues between items within a template — it is not possible to add, remove, or change the type of a link (e.g. "is blocked by", "blocks", "relates to"). This makes it impossible to create structured, dependency-driven templates, such as a waterfall workflow where tasks have defined predecessors and successors. Adding full linked issues management directly in the template editor would significantly increase the value of templates for teams working with complex, sequential workflows.

It would be great to have the ability to reorder the tasks or subtasks in a template. For instance, if i have a template that is a task with 2 sub-tasks, I would like to be able to change the order of the sub-tasks. This come into play when creating templates and the end user wants the order of operations to be different, as it stands now i have to create a new template and redo all of the automation.
