Implement an option to choose a job type on relaunch (issue #14177)

[Sasa993]

SUMMARY

This PR adds a feature for users to change the Job Type (run type) on relaunching the job.

ISSUE TYPE

• New or Enhanced Feature

COMPONENT NAME

• API
• UI

AWX VERSION

23.6.1.dev29+g02f77b54af

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Before this change, modifying the run type required creating a new job, which could be inconvenient, especially for jobs with numerous prompts. The aim is to improve the user experience by allowing users to choose the run type while relaunching the job.

I decided to use a dropdown instead of modal (modal was suggested in the issue). By implementing a dropdown instead of a modal, we avoid potential negative impacts on the user experience. The dropdown was chosen as it is already used for failed jobs, providing a consistent interface.

I have tested this feature thoroughly on job_list, job_detail, and job_output screens.

In order for this modal to activate, does prompt on launch for job type need to be enabled?

Also, do you mind providing screenshots of the modal as well so that when we test this we know what to look for?

I used a dropdown instead of modal.

Here are the screenshots of all three places where job relaunch is present:

thanks for the screenshots @Sasa993

still wondering though if prompt on launch for job type need to be enabled for this drop down to be available?

@fosterseth have you had a chance to test this?

if Relaunch button now evokes a dropdown, we probably will want to change button to have an arrow, similar to the Add button on the job template page

As for the job list view -- I think the relaunch button (the space shuttle button) should be the old behavior so that relaunching is still a 1 click operation. The dropdown menu would only be for the Relaunch button on the Job detail page. We'd need a UI engineer to chime in on this point

No, prompt on launch for job type doesn't need to be enabled. Thank you for taking the time to review this.

That's a good point, I totally agree. I'll adjust that as soon as I get the "green light" from someone on the UI team. Thanks for taking a look at this.
