clone_items gives "Item with this filename already exists" when cloning service definitions

[rkraujutis]

Describe the bug

Cloning two service definition items with same name fails with error:

Failed to create Service Definition migrantai_statistika: The item could not be added: {'error': {'code': 409, 'messageCode': 'CONT_0027', 'message': 'Item with this filename already exists. [itemId=8da4a062d5b041d0acdde1e03f0f33c7]

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

        source_content:ContentManager = source_gis.content
        source_item1 = source_content.get("7bfd09002db34485a86d82344f7f6b81")
        source_item2 = source_content.get("5eed32e40e144517991cf5c091d69d4b")

        target_content:ContentManager = target_gis.content

        cloned_items:list[Item] = []
        try:
            cloned_items = target_content.clone_items([
                    source_item1, source_item2,
                ],
                search_existing_items = False,
            )
        except:
            logger.warning(f"Failed clone {source_item1.itemid}", exc_info=True)

Expected behavior

Expected cloned item appear in target.

Platform (please complete the following information):

• OS: Linux
• Browser: -
• Python API Version: 2.4.0

Additional context

We are doing migration of ArcGIS Online content from one account to another. Cloning is being done in bulk. Some items causes the problems. They exists in source, but can't be cloned to target.

This is an expected, you should use reassign_to. https://developers.arcgis.com/python/latest/api-reference/arcgis.apps.hub.html#arcgis.apps.hub.initiatives.Initiative.reassign_to

[rkraujutis]

Why you providind sample of initiative reassign, while item identifier in examples are service definition files? Will the item be cloned from one GIS to another GIS? Cloning should not modify source item. Won't it be changed?
