IACM Workspace Templates: Support Granular Field Overrides for Git and Workspace Configurations

Description:
IACM Workspace Templates currently lack granular override capabilities for key configuration parameters, particularly Git connection details (such as repository URL, branch, and folder/base path). Because these fields cannot be individually overridden during workspace creation or instantiation, a single template is artificially restricted to a single repository, branch, or directory structure.
We request the ability to expose and override individual configuration fields—specifically Git settings (repository, branch, path/folder), environment variables, and execution parameters—when instantiating a workspace from a template. This would allow a single, standardized template definition to be reused dynamically across multiple repositories, environments, and team configurations.
Business Impact:
- Scalability & Reusability: Unlocks true template reusability across enterprise teams, drastically reducing the total number of duplicate templates platform engineers must create and maintain.
- Standardization with Flexibility: Allows central platform teams to enforce workspace governance and pipeline baselines while giving application teams the flexibility to point to their specific repos, branches, and code paths.
- Lower Maintenance Overhead: Simplifies platform operations by allowing global configuration updates to be managed in one core template rather than spread across dozens of single-use template variants.
