Import Universal Template
Data type scripts private_key_default.asc and public_key_default.asc
need to be created first in the controller before you can import the template.
Alternatively, remove the value for the choice fields in the json by setting them to null.
To use the Universal Template, you first must perform the following steps.
This Universal Task requires the Resolvable Credentials feature. Check that the Resolvable Credentials Permitted system property has been set to true.
To import the Universal Template into your Controller, follow the instructions here.
When the files have been imported successfully, refresh the Universal Templates list; the Universal Template will appear on the list.
