PH19668: UDCLIENT'S CREATEENVIRONMENTFROMTEMPLATE ALLOWS YOU TO IGNORE REQUIRED PROPERTIES DEFINED IN THE ENVIRONMENT TEMPLATE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If the you do not specifically define the Property/Value
  pairs in the json, instead of failing to create the Environment
  and throwing an error that "you did not specify a Required
  Environment Property", the server will just create the
  Environment without the Property at all. The webUI requires that
  you set values for required properties. This is problematic
  because the environment should inherit all attributes from its
  template, but this is not the case. The environment is created
  without the template properties.
  
  This is opposite behavior from PH16324 where template properties
  could not be specified, so creating environment from template
  would always fail if the template had a required property.
