Issue/Introduction

Here is a POST script to import a folder and all its contents via the REST API into an existing client.  In this case, the folder should be REST/EXAMPLES/FOLDEROBJECTS and it will have two objects inside it, JOB3 and JOB4

POST {{URLROOT}}://{{HOSTNAME}}:{{PORT}}/{{APIURL}}/{{APIVERSION}}/{{CLIENT}}/folderobjects

Here is the content of the json script:
