`aws iot list-jobs` doesn't return `SCHEDULED` jobs when passing `--thing-group-name`

[IskanderNovena]

Describe the bug

When running aws iot list-jobs, all jobs are listed. When targeting a specific thing group, by passing the parameter --thing-group-name, scheduled jobs are NOT listed.

Expected Behavior

I expect the aws iot list-jobs --thing-group-name THINGGROUP to include ALL jobs targeted at the specified Thing group.

Current Behavior

Currently it seems like only active (as in currently running/IN_PROGRESS) jobs are returned when specifying --thing-group-name

Reproduction Steps

I've created a Thing Group THINGGROUP and created two jobs targeted at that group: A continuous scheduled job, and a snapshot job.

❯ aws iot list-jobs | grep THINGGROUP

Possible Solution

No response

Additional Information/Context

Using Boto3 gives the same results when passing a Thing group name. So it might be an API issue and not specifically an AWS CLI issue.

CLI version used

aws-cli/2.17.51 Python/3.11.9 Darwin/23.6.0 exe/x86_64

Thanks for reaching out. I could reproduce this behavior, and agree that it appears to be an issue with the API rather than directly with the CLI. I'm going to reach out to the IoT team regarding this issue, as they maintain the ListJobs API. And if this behavior is expected, then I think the reasons why should be clarified in the documentation.

Quick update: the service team confirmed the issue and is working on a fix.
