Issue
- Is there a way to unassign a Site Template from a Site?
- When importing a site using a .lar file into a company where the associated Site Template doesn't exist, an error occurs: "Site cannot be Imported as Site Template does not exist."
Resolution
- There's no out-of-the-box way to unassign a Site Template from a site.
- Workaround: When exporting the site, uncheck the "Export Site Template" setting. This prevents the exported .lar file's metadata.xml from including the Site Template, allowing the site to be imported into another company without the template dependency.
