Summary: Editing an OU prompts to select a template

Initial Comment:
I think this is a bug, but the behavior described below of PLA 1.2.0.4 could be intentional.  Attached to this are several LDIF Files to re-create a basic ldap tree named ACME (using X.500 notation), as well as a few images from my working setup,

What I am running into is that under PLA 1.2.0.4, if I have o=acme, and three sub ou's, ou=users, ou=groups, ou=posixgroups, and I attempt to click on any of them to add children entries, PLA will prompt me to select a template to edit the OU with.  PLA 1.1.0.7 used to automatically determine the Template (or it used no template at all).  By allowing one to choose a template, PLA 1.2.0.4 is opening the door for erroneous user behavior by allowing users to pick the wrong template, and then editing attributes of the selected object and potentially damaging their tree by having the object converted to the object described in the template chosen.

If this behavior is intentional, then I think what PLA 1.2.0.4 (or later) needs to do is only display templates that match the primary objectClass of the object being edited, otherwise it should fallback to PLA 1.1.0.7's default behavior of "No Template" and let you edit the attributes directly per the defined objectClasses and the LDAP schema.
