Unable to select QnABot in bot template (web app bot)

Question

I'm trying to create a web app bot in the Azure Portal, but I can't select the QnA template. It's supposed to be like a selector but appears just as text.

How can I connect my bot to the QnA Maker service?

It looks like you're trying to create the web app bot directly in the Azure portal. You can do this, and hook up your QnA knowledge base (KB), but it sounds like you want a more simple approach. To do this, you need to start from within the qnamaker portal itself, from the "Publish" screen of your knowledge base. First Publish the KB, then you'll see the screen with a "Create Bot" button - it works as described here (I've just tested to confirm).

When you start from this "Publish" screen, the Web App Bot has a "QnA Auth Key" section - see the bottom of this screenshot:
