Issue
When trying to save a workflow that contains a REST Web Service node, a warning prevents the user from being able to save. The following message is presented:

Content-Type header parameter is required for REST Web Service.
 
User-added image

The same behavior exists for a SOAP Web Services node:
 
Content-Type header parameter is required for SOAP Web Service.
 
User-added image
Resolution
The workflow engine requires the parameter Content-Type to be populated in the header section of the sidebar. The workflow engine does not read the header value from the request envelope/body.

Notes
The header value was not mandatory in all legacy versions of RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle, thus this issue is commonly seen after upgrading from an older version.
