@Valentina Rappa that looks like a bug in the template OSM files for 90.1 2010. The interior wall, is working as expected, there isn't a custom insulation value, but there should be for the exterior wall. What version of OpenStudio are you using? If you are using 2.4.0 or earlier then you can download and run the Space Type and Construction set Wizard. That measure has not been updated yet to work with OpenStudio 2.5.0.

You should have a construction named "Typical Insulated Exterior Mass Wall R-9.62" that is set for exterior walls in the construction set.

Thanks for identifying the issue, I'll file an issue to get the template files updated.

Updated 2.5.0 work around: If you have 2.5.0 follow these steps "Load from Library" but instead of using the default directory that 2.5.0 points you to, direct it to the resources directory in 2.4.0, which on a mac would like something like this "/Applications/OpenStudio-2.4.0/OpenStudioApp.app/Contents/Resources". On mac it is is within the application, so you may have to use finder to "show package contents" then copy to a directory you can browse to more easily from the OpenStudio application.

If you use the old resource file object names will be different, than if you use the space type and construction set wizard measure.
- Construction Set will be named "90.1-2010 - CZ4 - Office"
- Construction will be named "ASHRAE 90.1-2010 ExtWall Mass ClimateZone 4"
