Description
Very few template workflows run properly without credentials. (A catfact demo might, but nothing useful.) While a common journey may be:
- Select template
- Get time with technical expert to get from "theoretically valuable template" to "actually valuable running workflow"
We'd likely do well to enable:
- Select template
- Add required credentials (this issue)
- Modify step code (solo or with AI) to do what I want to do
For users that aren't already familiar with OpenFn. Is there some way we could help users add credentials where needed after picking a template?

Research direction
Start by tracing the template-selection workflow and how templates declare or expose required credentials. Define the user flow for adding those credentials after selection, and consider the work done when users can identify and provide the credentials needed to make a selected template useful.
