[Arma 3 Launcher] Not showing mods created via Steam's VDF definition file

Description

SteamLayer: Found item with no tags. PublishedId=XXX

Seems the launcher is expecting a tag to recognize a mod item.
More specifically the itemType is not set judging from the A3 publisher.

When you do the initial upload directly via steamCMD + vdf file, the item wont have a tag/itemType, but the Arma 3 launcher expects this custom(?) property.

Severity: None
Resolution: Open
Reproducibility: N/A
Operating System: Windows 10 x64
Category: Launcher

Steps To Reproduce

steamcmd.exe +set_steam_guard_code SG_CODE +login USER_ACC USER_PW +workshop_build_item name.vdf +quit

"workshopitem"
{
	"appid"			"107410"
	"publishedfileid"	"0"
	"contentfolder"		"x:\path\folder"
	"previewfile"		""
	"visibility"		"1"
	"title"			"Name"

}

Note the message in Steam logs when having subscribed to such upload

Note in Arma 3 Publisher the mod has no Item Type set
Note the mod is not available in Arma 3 launcher (but downloaded by Steam to its folders)

Its not our fault when you don't set a required tag.
If you use publisher to upload, it works. And thats the only supported way of uploading mods to workshop
