Issue: Deleting Workflow Job Templates (WJTs) using `dispatch` fails in `infra.controller_configuration`

[daleroux]

Environment

• AAP Version: 2.4 (Issue also observed in 2.5 with aap_configuration )
• Ansible Collection: infra.controller_configuration v2.11.0 (latest)

Issue Summary

When using filetree_create to export Workflow Job Templates (WJTs) and then using dispatch to recreate them, the process works as expected. However, attempting to delete the WJTs using dispatch fails, leaving behind an empty, non-functional Workflow still present in the AAP Controller.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Export configuration using filetree_create with flatten_output: true:

   ansible-playbook filetree_create.yml -e '{output_path:/path/to/output, flatten_output:true}'

2. Manually delete the workflow in the UI (this step is facultative)
3. Use dispatch to recreate WJTs from the generated workflow_job_templates.yaml → Works as expected.
4. Attempt to delete WJTs using dispatch → Workflow itself remains, though JTs are removed.

Root Cause Analysis

• The exported workflow_job_templates.yaml sets state: "present" for all WJTs.
• dispatch does not remove WJTs unless their state is explicitly set to "absent".
• The documentation states that controller_state determines whether objects are created or deleted but does not mention that state must be manually modified for deletion.
• Removing state from workflow_job_templates.yaml causes a playbook error.

Proposed Fix

• filetree_create should either:
  1. Omit the state field for WJTs (aligning with how JTs are handled). <- Preferred method
  2. Document that state must be manually changed to "absent" for deletion.

Thank you!

Transferring to the correct repository (this one is for AAP <= 2.4

This should also be fixed for AAP >= 2.5, for what the PR redhat-cop/aap_configuration_extended#85 has been also created.
