# (NEW!) Get Metadata Template by ID

Retrieve a single metadata template by its ID. The response is the same template object returned in each results[] item of GET /metadata/templates, including attributesDefaultValue, accessTemplates, inUse, indexStatus and templateCategory.

Defaults:
- includeDenormalized defaults to false. templateDenormalized is only included in the response when includeDenormalized is true.

Business Rules:
- id must be a valid UUID; any other value is rejected with a 400.
- Unlike GET /metadata/templates, a direct ID lookup applies no category filter. System and protected templates are returned like any other.

The user submitting the request must have the Metadata Management admin privilege.
