Is there a specific permission or role needed to apply a blueprint/template modification?

For the space I am currently working on, I am the owner and Space Administrator. My version of Confluence is Cloud based.

I selected the Edit link for the Decision template located under Decisions Blueprint (Space Settings - Content Tools - Templates) and modified the Status variable response option from a Text field to a List field. The options I provided for the List field were Open,In Progress,Pending,Complete. After I save my changes, I attempted to create a new decision page and found that my modifications were not appearing in the status field, but rather the original out-of-the-box Text field option Confluence provides.

Please let me know if I am doing something incorrectly or need additional permissions. Thanks

Hello there!
I would like to start by saying that yes, accessing the feature to edit Blueprints is indeed bound to your permissions in the instance. We need the administrator permission for such. The situation we are facing seems to stem from the fact that currently, we can not edit the values of system variables.
Even though the interface allows values to be inserted there, the actual value is controlled server side.

As a possible workaround, you could create a new template and set the variable values as desired:

Blueprints and user created templates

For a more complete experience (a new Blueprint), with dialog and everything else we need to create a new Blueprint for your instance. Creating Blueprints require some knowledge on development and an appropriate environment:

Multi-page blueprints with Confluence Connect

Under our documentation you will find some steps to get a kick-start for this!
Please, let us know about your thoughts.

I forwarded your response to my Site Admin and he said this helps a lot. We are in the process of refining my permissions/role. Thank you so much!

@Diego I am still having issues with the updated/edited template. My Confluence Admin set me with permissions for Site Administrator, so I am able to see and manipulate the settings globally.

As a test, I added a new row to the Decision blueprint/template table form and called it "Test Row" in the label section. In the next cell of the row, I created a new variable called "$testingvar" and set it's property to a list with the values of Test1,Test2,Test3. I saved the updates to the blueprint/template and went back out to my Testing Space. From there, I removed the existing decision log and decision pages from the space and added them back in, thinking this would purge and reset what is being pulled in from the Decision blueprint/template.

The result was being able to see the "Test Row" on the newly created and published Decision page, but I was unable to see the list drop down with the values of Test1,Test2,Test3. Also, when you initially create a new decision, it doesn't show the new row on the popup dialog box that appears for the initial data entry of the decision.

We are stuck from here and do not know what else we need to do to make the blueprint/template updates apply to the site.
