When data is manually entered into the cdt gui, the request sent to appc is missing data that is present when a reference file is uploaded to the cdt gui. Specifically, the reference_data is empty when data is manually entered.

This is causing artifacts created by manual data entry to not save in appc.

Example below is for an ansible healthcheck:

This is the data that comes in over rest when a reference file is added to cdt:
{"userID": "csituser","vnf-type" : "csit","action" : "AllAction","artifact-name" : "reference_AllAction_csit_0.0.1V.json","artifact-type" : "APPC-CONFIG","artifact-version" : "0.1","artifact-contents" :" {\"reference_data\":[{\"action\":\"HealthCheck\",\"action-level\":\"vnf\",\"scope\":

{\"vnf-type\":\"csit\",\"vnfc-type-list\":[\"testvnftype\"],\"vnfc-type\":\"\"}

,\"template\":\"Y\",\"vm\":[],\"device-protocol\":\"ANSIBLE\",\"user-name\":\"\",\"port-number\":\"\",\"artifact-list\":[

{\"artifact-name\":\"template_HealthCheck_csit_0.0.1V.json\",\"artifact-type\":\"config_template\"}

,

{\"artifact-name\":\"pd_HealthCheck_csit_0.0.1V.yaml\",\"artifact-type\":\"parameter_definitions\"}

,

{\"artifact-name\":\"param_HealthCheck_csit_0.0.1V.json\",\"artifact-type\":\"param_values\"}

],\"scopeType\":\"vnf-type\"},{\"action\":\"AllAction\",\"action-level\":\"vnf\",\"scope\":

{\"vnf-type\":\"csit\",\"vnfc-type-list\":[\"testvnftype\"],\"vnfc-type\":\"\"}

,\"artifact-list\":[

{\"artifact-name\":\"reference_AllAction_csit_0.0.1V.json\",\"artifact-type\":\"reference_template\"}

]}]}"}

This is the data that comes in over rest when data is manually entered into cdt:
{"userID": "csituser","vnf-type" : "csit023020302","action" : "AllAction","artifact-name" : "reference_AllAction_csit023020302_0.0.1V.json","artifact-type" : "APPC-CONFIG","artifact-version" : "0.1","artifact-contents" :"

{\"reference_data\":[]}

"}

The manual entry steps that produce the above output:
1. Create new vnf type
2. Enter a vnf type name
3. Click next
4. Choose "HealthCheck" as action
5. Choose "ANSIBLE" as protocol
6. Click "save all to appc"
