@Ardeck
The detailed version show lldp neighbor info detail already exists.

Is there something that template doesn't provide that this one does?

[Ardeck]

That should not be the case.
Long story short, I use this command because it is more standardized over multiple vendor/version, it is simpler/faster to process.

However after some testing, I found some issue with the detail template when there are more than one entry on the interface. I should create a fix for this also but that would probably be breaking because entries would have to be moved to lists...

That was not my intention when creating this template, as it is for convenience for some code downstreams but it still has some usage.
