Why not try a PR?
@i-m-d
Ryan is suggesting you could submit your own PR these changes.
Are you open to doing that?
I could try, but i really do not know how.
I have several templates modified as i required extra fields not supported by oficial template.
Is there a how to or similar ?
@i-m-d
Yes, there are docs for creating templates and for the development environment.
(main location for development docs: https://github.com/networktocode/ntc-templates/tree/master/docs/dev)
(To be clear I'm a volunteer.)
NTC's policy on new templates or adding data to templates is a question of necessity (read it verbatim at the previous hyperlink). I can certainly understand the reasoning, including toward that of the maintainers.
If you're fine with "learning to fish", running the project tests, and submitting your own PR that's great. It's handy to have another community member to pitch in. 😉
(Otherwise I see personal value [below] in this so I could toss in the ounce of time later today to work things up and submit a PR. You decide and if you choose not to submit a PR, please respond letting me know.)
Situations like this for example:
If you are upgrading from Cisco NX-OS Release 7.0(3)I5(2) to Cisco NX-OS Release 9.3(x) using the install all command, BIOS will not be upgraded due to CSCve24965. When the upgrade to Cisco NX-OS Release 9.3(x) is complete, use the install all command again to complete the BIOS upgrade, if applicable.

Also, if you feel you want to contribute and/or the changes would be beneficial to others, open up an issue ticket per template so the NTC and the community can provide feedback.
