Setting template instructions for python scripts

Template instructions allow products to be more dynamic, allowing them to perform actions during key events like a checkout. There are three types of template instructions controlled by file types: data frame rules, layout rules, and python scripts.

The Python Scripts properties allow custom business logic to be executed on a product. A single python file can be saved as part of template instructions.
