Description

Template input files would make it much simpler for new users to modify values and track changes. For example, a large tokamak template could be a standard "base" input file with values that could be overwritten by a "custom" input file to create deviations from it.

Research direction

The issue proposes base and custom input files whose values can be overridden, but it names no implementation files, tests, input format, or override rules. Start by locating the input-file loading entry point and clarify the template format and precedence behavior; done means documented, tested support for creating a customized input from a base file.
