Formal template parameter (automation interface)
Important: Modeler ensures that Actual Template Parameters on a bind Dependency match the Formal Template Parameters on an associated template Package. If you create Formal Template Parameters through the automation interface, you must ensure that they match any associated Actual Template Parameters.
A Formal Template Parameter specifies formal parameters for a template Package.
Note that when the Parameter Type is String, the value of the formal is derived from the Formal Template Parameter Name.
