I ran into this bug as well just now. However, I have found it **does** work correctly with the stdlib [dataclasses](https://docs.python.org/3/library/dataclasses.html). This can serve as a possible workaround for others...

I've added some documentation that is related to this at http://errbot.io/en/master/user_guide/administration.html#restricting-access.

I'm labelling this as a bug, as it's not unthinkable for two plugins to use the same template names. Without having looked at the code in question, I suspect this...

Right. I think IRC is (currently) the only backend where setting background colors makes any sense (but even there, some people argue you shouldn't :wink:) so it's not altogether surprising...

It's in [core.py](https://github.com/errbotio/errbot/blob/master/errbot/core.py#L159-L163) now.

Thanks for reporting this! Do you happen to have any simple reproduction code for us that we could use to debug this? I'd be especially interested in seeing how you're...

This is really great info, thanks! Unfortunately I've been really busy so I haven't had the opportunity to look into this any further, but it's on the radar.

@gbin how would you feel about offering an optional way to override the configuration of plugins via `config.py`? I'm envisioning something like this: ``` python # Default, no override: CONFIG_OVERRIDE...

Admittedly, this isn't limited to the `template` parameter alone, but applies to any parameter I believe. The same happens with the `unpack_args` parameter for example.
