Required value error when installing on OpenShift 4.5.0-4.5.5

Symptoms

Error "Required value" for field "spec.strimziOverrides.kafka.listenrers".

Causes

Due to a known issue, installing on OpenShift Container Platform 4.5.0 to 4.5.5 by using the UI removes configuration details and applies an incomplete definition.

Resolving the problem

When installing Event Streams on OpenShift Container Platform versions 4.5.0 to 4.5.5 by using the OpenShift UI, go to the YAML View, select a sample configuration on the right, and click Try It to load a valid sample.

Alternatively, upgrade your OpenShift Container Platform version to 4.5.6.
