Description

Creating a script in a properties configuration is undocumented but is supported by PropertiesConfigurationBuilder:

    private ScriptComponentBuilder createScript(final Properties properties) {
        final String name = (String) properties.remove("name");
        final String language = (String) properties.remove("language");
        final String text = (String) properties.remove("text");

So I should be able to specify the code with the "text" key. However, validation is blocking this feature. I've tried this (script content omitted):

script.foo.type=Script
script.foo.name=foo
script.foo.language=javascript
script.foo.text=true

This gives the following errors:

Script contains an invalid element or attribute "text"

No 'scriptText' attribute provided for Script plugin 'uuid'

Using "scriptText" as key is not accepted either.
