Add as Spare Part to Asset Template

There's currently a checkbox in Item Master to add a part to the Asset's Spare Parts list when issued to a Work Order w/ an Asset. However, we are trying to manage our Assets' Spare Parts list via Asset Templates. It would make more sense that when issuing to a WO w/an Asset, that 1) it adds the Spare to the Asset Template and 2) it automatically updates any Asset associated with that Template. Bonus functionality: removing parts from the Asset Template actually removes them from the Asset! Or checkboxes like with decommissioning Locations/Assets, when you obsolete a part, check boxes with options to remove from asset template, remove from job plans, remove from asset spare parts lists, etc.
