When creating a new email template in the Admin Portal / Email section, why not have the user create the template’s “id name” and put it in at that time? It’s just a string, and it makes no sense to manually go to the Data Thing and type It in…
Hello @paulwolf72 welcome to the forum!
At first pass it is a great idea!
I will visit this suggestion with the team asap! 
We will be putting this suggestion on the backlog for those cases where the admin user being a “is developer? = yes”.
Regular admin users (developer? = no) of the admin portal do not deal with setting up email templates.
