Description
We are developing a hierarchical code structure where we have a "base" pack that contains common workflows, actions and scripts. Workflows and actions in this pack reference keys in the k/v store for various parameters.
Next in our hierarchy are "customer" packs that mainly contain unique values for the various keys in our "base" pack.
We would like to be able to automatically load the k/v pairs for these "customer" packs during pack installation.
One thought on Slack (lakstorm) was to store the k/v data in a JSON file, then import it during pack installation.
Also need to think about how to handle encrypted data (credentials and such)?

Research direction
Start by tracing the pack installation flow and the existing key/value-store handling. Determine how customer-pack data should be represented and imported, including the unresolved treatment of encrypted credentials; done means installation loads the intended pairs safely and the behavior is covered by the project's relevant checks.
