Fixes #20443
In recent versions the flow of requests from the client when creating a document type with a template was:
In 1., the document type still didn't exist, so a "generic" template was being created.
Additionally, if the creation of the document type failed, the "orphan" template would remain.
This PR adds a new endpoint to the Management API:
With the above in place, I adjusted the flow to:
This way, a template is only created if the content type was actually created, and the generated template will know which model to reference.
The idea while building the new endpoint was also that you can also create templates for document types later on, default or not.
Testing
Create a Document Type with Template and verify that the generated template references the typed model and looks the same as in V13.
Also, ensure that creating templates through the backoffice still works as expected.
