      1. What is the nature and description of the request?
        We'd like to suggest the addition of a YAML tab to AAP templates that live matches the visual in the template forms, similar to what is done in OpenShift.
        
        We have a lot of templates that were created using the AAP web interface, but we'd like to mature and start defining them in code which would also allow us to more easily promote/lifecycle the code from test to prod AAP instances.  It would be a much easier transition if the code to create those templates was available in a YAML tab on the template interface so that we could copy/paste that content into our Git repository rather than having to start from scratch to replace every job template and complex workflow templates.
      1. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
        Labor savings/reduce re-work, improve new AAP user onboarding/education.
        
        We're aware there is a way to export this from the API, but there is so much extraneous information included that it doesn't make sense labor-wise to spend the time cleaning it up vs starting from scratch. If a live YAML tab was added similar to OpenShift we think this would benefit our desire to more easily transition our existing templates to being defined in code but also provide a clear learning path for new Ansible users when they're ready to go from the graphical interface to templates as code as they mature on their Ansible journey.
