I don't see why the second part of this step would be necessary for this particular issue. This only copies the Url field into the linked remote URLs. > 4.

Actually, it is not really present in the default template. It just happens to show up with the default template because there is an error in that template (as I explained), and due to a quirky coincidence it picks up the Url field instead. BTW, for the next release (and tomorrow's nightly build) the error in the template is fixed, though it won't automatically be applied (you have to do that by hand by either removing the erroneous template first or by resetting from the prefs.)
