Правильный ответ на вопрос:

Context: your professor is giving you feedback on your essay. You weren’t sure your reference list had been done correctly, but the professor says that you did a great job adding “that’s the way it was supposed to be done” or “that’s the way it had to be done.”
As you can see, the two sentences mean the same. You did the job exactly the way your professor had expected you to do it.

Again, the two sentences are synonymous!

Another possible situation is when you’re asking your friend why they made an omelette in the oven instead of a pan. And you say that you read the recipe and “that’s the way it was supposed to / had to be done”. The recipe outlined that the omelette was supposed to / had to be cooked in the oven!
The two grammar patterns mean the same!
