Conductor: inputTemplate value not override by custom value

[anxiaoyi]

define task:

[{
    "name": "task_one",
    "retryCount": 2,
    "timeoutSeconds": 600,
    "inputTemplate": {
      "a": 100,
      "b": 200
    },
    "inputKeys": [
      "c"
    ],
    "outputKeys": [
      "result"
    ],
    "timeoutPolicy": "TIME_OUT_WF",
    "retryLogic": "FIXED",
    "retryDelaySeconds": 5,
    "responseTimeoutSeconds": 60
  }]

define workflow:

  {
    "name": "task_one_workflow",
    "description": "task_one_workflow",
    "version": 1,
    "tasks": [
      {
        "name": "task_one",
        "taskReferenceName": "task_one",
        "inputParameters": {
          "a": "${workflow.input.a}",
          "b": "${workflow.input.b}",
          "c": "${workflow.input.c}"
        },
        "type": "SIMPLE",
        "startDelay": 0
      }
    ],
    "schemaVersion": 2
  }

start workflow with:

{
    "name": "task_one_workflow",
    "version": 1,
    "correlationId": "my_unique_correlation_id",
    "input": {
        "b": 456,
        "c": 7890    }
}

finally I got value from task.getInputData() result:

• a: 100
• b: 200
• c: 7890

I don't know why b value is 200, not 456, any one meet this problem yet?

@anxiaoyi I have labeled this as a question for now. Will run some tests and change this to a bug if required.
In the meantime, I will wait for other users to comment on if they have encountered this behavior in their workflows.

I got the same problem, and I didn't find the code for the workflow's _input_ to override the task's _inputParameters_ value.
