We should make sure the job template name works everywhere. To users it shouldn't even matter if it happens to be the name of a test suite or if it was defined in YAML.

For question 1, could we add a parameter when cloning a job? if the operation is cloning a job, just get the job's setting, don't get the other's settings from medium type and machine, test suite.
question 2, how could we support using job template name? when executing jobs post TEST=xxx, first search the XXX in job template table? if there are more than one job templates with this name, all of them will be triggered? if the job template table does not include this specified job template name, searching the test suite table?

As discussed with @cdywan, I need to write more details about question 1.
The whole users' story is that:

1. About the setting with a '+', here is a ticket that explains it. https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/60371
2. Users defined the setting property with +ISO both in Medium Type and YAML. in Medium Type, the setting is +ISO=SLE-%VERSION%-Online-%ARCH%-Build%BUILD%-Media1.iso in YAML the setting is re-defined as this: - offline_sles15_media_basesys-srv-desk_all_full: settings: +ISO: SLE-%VERSION%-Full-%ARCH%-Build%BUILD%-Media1.iso
3. when the job is trigger by openQA, the job's setting is SLE-15-SP2-Full-x86_64-Build122.1-Media1.iso. The result is expected.
4. The job in this example (given in the description ), was cloned by users. As expected, the cloned job should have the same settings as the based job has. In fact, the cloned job has two parameters about ISO, such as: +ISO: SLE-15-SP2-Online-x86_64-Build122.1-Media1.iso ISO: SLE-15-SP2-Full-x86_64-Build122.1-Media1.iso Although the setting +ISO does not affect the job, IMHO it should not be here. I checked the code, the +ISO comes from the Medium Type. I think we should not get the settings from medium type or machine or test suite when users clone a job using openqa-clone-job.
