Select the EF Template in EF Generation Analyses created from AF Element Templates

Any AF Analysis that creates Event Frames needs to have an Event Frame template assigned to it, which is used to create the Event Frame. The Security settings of the Event Frame template are used to assign the Security settings of all Event Frames created using this template. We are running into the problem, that we have various Element templates being used in the AF hierarchy with differing access rights to those Elements. However, all the EF created in those AF Elements have the same access rights across the complete AF hierarchy. One solution is to therefore use different EF Templates across the AF hierarchy. However, this runs into the next problem. It is not possible to change the EF Template used In Analyses created from AF Templates. This means that we would have to create not only different EF Templates, but also different Element Templates (with copy & pasted EF generation Analyses) across the hierarchy. Ideally, there would be some way to assign the security settings depending on the security rights (or something else) based on the Element the EF was created in/the primary parent Element. However, for now it would suffice if we could manually change the EF Template used to create the Event Frames in Analyses created using templated Analyses.
