The Edit Template functionality is available in case the user is granted the Edit Template permission on the Smart Issue Templates Permissions page.

Make sure that the Allow create\edit Template from the Issue creation dialog configuration is checked on the Configurations page

To enable the template editing the user is to be granted the ‘Create Issue’ project permission as well.

To edit a Template, open the Create Issue or Edit Issue dialog and select the Template that needs to be updated in the Select Template dropdown, update the field values, and hit the Update Template button at the bottom of the dialog

You can also switch Project and (or) Issue Type to access different set of fields on the Screen.

However, once the Template is updated, only the fields available on the current Screen will be saved, clearing the values for any missing field on the current Template Screen.

The Edit Template dialog will appear, allowing you to change the Template details:
