Bug Summary

There is no way to specify empty webhook_credential for idempotency or to remove credential selection in that field. It should be accepting empty value and in this case also removing any credentials currently selected.

    - ansible.controller.job_template:
        name: "{{ aap_templates.assets.job_templates[0].name }}"
        webhook_credential: "{{ aap_templates.assets.job_templates[0].webhook_credential }}"
      ignore_errors: true

    - ansible.controller.job_template:
        name: "{{ aap_templates.assets.job_templates[0].name }}"
