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.

Artifacts
This operation delegates the consumes/produces artifacts decision to the workflow developer. Check Consumes Artifacts on the workflow step editor if this operation requires artifacts to be delivered prior to execution of the script. Check Produces Artifacts on the workflow step editor if this operation creates artifacts. The artifacts folder is available via the FD_ARTIFACTS_DIR variable.
Endpoint Selection
This operation delegates endpoint selection to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default the selection to "All", which selects all available endpoints associated to the environment instance. Selecting a specific resource will result in selection of endpoints associated to the environment instance which have that resource defined.
Endpoint Execution
This operation delegates endpoint execution to the workflow developer. The workflow editor will default to "Any", which will execute on any one of the selected endpoints, which will be randomly picked from selected endpoints or a specific endpoint where previous step may have executed. Changing this value to "All" to will result in execution on all selected endpoints.
