[Feature Request] Switch individual blueprint fields types to a template type

I love using community blueprints! However I find that there is some friction when I want to intermix the pre-configured inputs along with template yaml inputs.

The Problem - When a blueprint has a field such as a timestamp, I sometimes want to use a template to input a value rather than hard coding a value. Currently the only way to do this is to switch the whole blueprint over to edit the yaml and insert the template into the variable I want. This is frustrating because often I only have one value where I want to use a template and the remaining fields I want to use the per-configured field types and I don’t want to have to set the yaml for those fields because the GUI is just easier.

What I want - I wish there was a way to specify that an individual field can be set as a template value without leaving the GUI.

Possible solution - I mocked up what the interface might look like below. Each field would have a template button on the right side as indicated by the open and close curly braces ‘{ }’. When clicked, the datetime input field would toggle over to a template input field type.
