Symptoms


I used the Create List wizard to create a new list inside sharepoint. I saved a list as a template and use that template name in the wizard. However, all i get is a simple /empty/ custom list.

Reproduction steps:
1. Go to http://Localhost.com on the VM. (or any other site collection that has the K2 app registered and setup)
2. Create a custom list (site content, add app, custom list)
3. Go to the list settings (ribbon List -> List Settings)
4. Add a number of custom columns (also on List Settings page)
5. Save the list as a template (also on List Settings page)
6. Open up Visual Studio or K2 studio.
7. Create a new process
8. Drag the SP2013 Create list wizard onto the canvas.
9. In the first dialog, select the site collection you used in 1. Click Next.
10. In the second dialog enter a name for the list and for the list template click the small button below, so you can enter the name of the template that you saved in step 5.
11. Finish the wizard and deploy the process.
12. Start the process from the K2 workspace.
13. The process will complete correctly, but the list that is created does not have the columns that you specified in step 4. The process has just created a Custom List, not the list from your template saved in step 4.
