Creation of Data types and Field groups as template

You might have accidentally marked a greeting response as "Accepted Answer" or @bjoern__koth missed to add his full answer, but here is the actual response to you question.

Answer to both Data Type change and Field Group change is "YES" as long as these are additive changes. The additive changes to you custom Field Groups (FG) and Data Types (DT) propagate to every schema that uses them but Deletions/renames which is considered as breaking changes are restricted once they’re in use by a Dataset.

AEP follows additive schema evolution: you can add new fields over time; removing/renaming/changing types is restricted—especially after data has been ingested associating to that schema.
