What behaviour did you expect instead

The template to be added to Zabbix

Output log

Any additional information you'd like to impart

This appears to be caused by a combination of an incorrect parameter being sent to the Zabbix API (which has always been the case) and the Zabbix API doing strict parameter checking in version 3.4. And also my not catching this error in my last issue or PR.
