the Import program (IMPORT.EXE) to update a user's template information on a
FFAPI network/postoffice address list but the template information is not
included, the default template information is used.

CAUSE

When you use the Import command to modify the user information, the fields that
are not updated are overwritten with the default information.

not want default template information.
