1499358 - Snippets Simple Template Schema incompatibility with button_url

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: New Tab Page, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Giorgos Logiotatidis [:giorgos]]

The current (not ASR) Simple Snippets Template takes `button_url` as an argument to display an optional button.

This was implemented similarly in ASR and merged into Firefox 63 Beta.

Unfortunately it was silently changed to `button_args` and `button_args_options` in nightly which is troublesome.

We now have 2 versions of the same template without a proper version bump, or agreement on how to handle different versions on different channels.

The Snippets Service has implemented `button_url` and we expect to serve Snippets in Beta, Dev and Nightly with ASR as soon as 63 hits release. 

This bug is to track needed actions to ensure that current Snippet Templates are compatible with ASR Snippet Templates and that the LCM team will be able to publish snippets in the mentioned channels.
