[in]	partial	True to signal that this preset contains only partial settings.
[in]	baseAssetName	String that will be suggested as asset name. User can append to it or change it completely on the dialog.
[in]	data	DataDictionary with the default values to save and apply.

Parameters

[in]	blList	The list of selected objects.
[in]	defaultsType	Legacy type identifier. For nodes, the identifier should be [XnodeEmulation]. For capsules, the identifier should be an object type derived from [neutron::CAPSULE_BASE_ID]. Will create the proper sub type depending on the source objects (emulated or not).

Returns: The sub type identifier on success. IllegalArgumentError if #blList are not all of corresponding type/sub type.
