    with more than one make sense the “do not change” but try, make changes in one, and put some like yes, no, yes, no, no etc… and return and see that dont stick my choices (radio buttons) visually lost my choices; maybe I explain bad but or something but see the video, speaks for itself.

    The thing is, your changes are not lost: they are saved and stored. If you want to check on that (and edit a specific template’s settings) your best bet is to edit the specific template and view the access settings there (take a look at my screenshot).

    The Template Preferences Manager is specifically for editing multiple templates at once, which is why “Do Not Change” makes sense because you could be editing several templates that all started with different settings. And sometimes you’ll want to change all of those templates to the same setting, and sometimes, you’ll want to leave them alone. Also, this is a note in the documentation that might help:

    With the Template Access Restrictions, if you select Do Not Change for a group and it is already not allowed to view a template it will remain so. If it can view a template, that will remain as well. In this way, templates with different combinations of groups access can all be modified to allow or disallow a particular group.

    oh!!! yes, great! now I see individual editing the template or click on “access”; I was working blind dont knowing which options I was check etc… now is clear; this make my day! thank you Wes!!!
