From a018fbf0c82325fbd426a1aa1cb7b5afe4e5dc61 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brandon <30938747+reichbc@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2025 15:06:22 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Update create-via-api.mdx Added a Note under the initial overview specifying that the "Create additional tokens" template MUST be used as it is the only option which lets a user create this special token.
