Feature Summary

In AWX you can have N credentials with the same name and you can differentiate through its credential_type when you want to choose it in a JT or WFJT.

However, you can do that through the collection because you can only send it the credential name. It should have the possibility to choose the credential type as well as the credential name-

Steps to reproduce

Create two credentials with the same name but different types. You try to create a JT through the collection with this credential name.

Current results

The collection task will fail.

Sugested feature result

It should be able to choose the credential type with the collection and then, it won't fail.
