How to enable basic authentication in Splunk addon builder rest api input?

Document has following details

If you added a Global Account field to your data input parameters, select Enable basic authentication if you want to include the username and password values in the HTTP header using HTTP Basic Authentication.

I'm having the same issue and enabling basic authentication by adding the global account add-in, doesn't help.

Do you have exact same configurations as I posted? If yes, that's a bug. Please join slack channel add-on-builder in splunk-usergroups workspace, then we can have a live talk. Thanks.
