Prioritize existing data types for templates props for safety

Noticed working on #5596 and #5708 a few issue when pset template is changing the prop types.

E.g. prop had string data type and now template suggests that it should be a float.
Previously, it might error trying to cast a string to a float. Now it will show a float until user will set it to null, then next time it will be loaded from the template data type.

Another example - prop was a string and now it's a boolean. Previously, it would be cast to boolean implicitly. E.g. "test" -> bool("test") -> True. And if user wouldn't be paying attention then enabling pset editing and saving it would make them lose "test" value.
