Enhancement to Existing Feature

Feature Summary

Currently the awx-cli supports only deleting one job per ID like:

awx job delete ID1

Is there the possibility or plan to support more than one job ID or a bulk action (delete all jobs)? The frontend is capable of deleting all selected jobs, but for CLI usage this feature would be awesome. Maybe also combine that with filter usage.

Current results

  • all jobs

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the awx cli source code for the 'job delete' command to understand how it currently handles a single ID, then investigate the AWX API to see if there is an endpoint for bulk delete or if a loop can be used. Look for existing patterns in other CLI commands that accept multiple IDs or filters.
