error while running lab start eda-setup : failed to read input object (not a Template?)

[Helena_Leis]

Hi, I ran into the same issue when running lab start eda-setup:

error: failed to read input object (not a Template?)

no kind "Template" is registered for version "v1"

This happens because recent OpenShift versions no longer accept apiVersion: v1 for Templates.
Updating the AD482 lab templates to use apiVersion: template.openshift.io/v1 fixed it for me.

After patching the YAML files in .../ad482/common/kubefiles/templates/, the lab setup completed successfully and the Kafka cluster came up without errors.

Hope this helps anyone else hitting the same issue!
