I ran into this also and spent a lot of time trying to figure out why this was happening. Essentially the track templates are also saving drum map info. The trick is to insert a track template and delete all the drum maps and save the track template again. Now when you insert that track template, it doesn't alter the drum maps at all
My template has about 4 drum maps in them, using this method, the same drum maps in my template are still there and no port settings are lost. When re-saving a track template - always delete all the drum maps before save.
What was happening to me, when I’d insert from a track template, is not only was the drum map assigned to the wrong drum map, but there was a huge list of 99 drum maps, mostly all blank. In drum map manager you can delete these blank drum maps one at a time to make the list more manageable.
Also when I would select the correct drum map all the post assignments were messed up and I’d need to redo them. You can select the top one and go to the end of the list and hold shift and it will select all the key assignments, then when you choose your port, hold control-shift and it will choose the port assignments for every single one. This saves time.
But using my method you don’t have to go through all of this the drum maps won’t be altered.
I also found another workaround when this happens. Don’t’ choose your drum maps from the list even if you find it, but instead choose “new drum map” and then choose your drum map. this time the port assignments won’t be messed up.
