Creates a build artifact containing file(s) and folder(s) selected on the Project Files tab of a project. This artifact is then used by the partialDeploy operation.
The project file attributes can be defaulted for the project using project properties. Then at populate or evaluate time, the defaults are used to fill the project file attributes. Those attributes are used at deploy time. The attributes are stored with the object, not the build, so it is possible to change the attributes and then deploy again without another build in between.
This operation can only be used in partial deployment projects of type file.
