Adding local path (not nupkg) templates appear to overwrite each other (can only have one at a time)

[JustinGrote]

If have defined three templates:
path\to\template1
another\path\template2
third\path\template3

Adding the first template with dotnet new -i path\to\template1 will work fine. Adding the second subsequent template will cause the other one to disappear for some reason and now only show that template (in addition to the nupkg ones)

Demo:

hi @JustinGrote

what are groupIdentity, identity and precedence values in your templates?
Is it possible to share the templates so I can check them?

could you also share dotnet new -u and dotnet --info output?

thank you

Hi @vlada-shubina,

Confirmed dupe of #649, I had duplicate groupIdentity entries and misunderstood the purpose.

@vlada-shubina related to this, I think the schema needs to clarify what this is for better, this is not very clear. What are the "keys"? How do the "tags" influence? When does the "prompt" occur?

@JustinGrote
I agree - the description looks confusing. We already have an issue to improve it (#2384), it's part of documentation improvements we are planning to do.
