If it's only vm template, user can edit template variable for vmName, but if it's referred from another template as templateLink, user will not be able to modify variable of referred template.\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/issues/comments/261655004","html_url":"https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/issues/2541#issuecomment-261655004","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/issues/2541","id":261655004,"user":{"login":"marcvaneijk","id":12481340,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/12481340?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/marcvaneijk","html_url":"https://github.com/marcvaneijk","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/marcvaneijk/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/marcvaneijk/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/marcvaneijk/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/marcvaneijk/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/marcvaneijk/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/marcvaneijk/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/marcvaneijk/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/marcvaneijk/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/marcvaneijk/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-11-18T22:08:34Z","updated_at":"2016-11-18T22:08:34Z","body":"We recommend to prevent linking of templates across scenarios folders.
