schedules: project and template named the same returns two results

[amunro-tsl]

Summary

If the project and the template are named the same, schedule returns the following error:

"msg": "Request to /api/v2/unified_job_templates/?organization=2&name=helix_test returned 2 items, expected 1"

You should be able to name a project and template the same; this makes sense if you want to name the project/template/inventory the same to show they are linked, etc.

An improvement would be to allow you to specify if the resource is a project, template, etc. Another way to improve this is to prioritize template over other resource types.

Work around is to name the project helix_test Project. Obviously a quick change but it should not have this issue, and someone will need to try and figure out why its failing (time/effort), so a fix would be much appreciated.

Hi @amunro-tsl, unfortunately this isn't directly applicable for this collection, instead you'll need to raise the same thing over at the awx.awx collection. I've an idea on how it might be done so if you do raise it over there and I get time I may raise a PR for it.

My thoughts are that you would have an optional unified_job_template_type option which gets added as a query param on the search for the UJT.

If and when it's accepted there, we can add the relevant change here if required.
