Red Hat Satellite 6 credential does not work with Job Templates

[BartOpitz]

I have an issue with Red Hat Satellite 6 credential type. It normaly injects FOREMAN_USERNAME/FOREMAN_PASSWORD/FOREMAN_SERVER_URL Environment variables.
I want to use theforeman.foreman.hostgroup_info module which falls back to those environment variables. My Job Template is bound with credential of this type, but mentioned environment variables are not injected.

From the implementation it looks like this credential was meant to work only in inventory source. Why?
Is there a reason for it not to work with job template? This would allow seamless authentication with theforeman.foreman collection.

I do not know if that was the case all the time, or just after moving out of credential plugins to external repository, but it does not work with AWX 24.6.1 (latest at this moment)

I am guessing that we never saw or had anyone requesting to use the inventory plugin as a cred type as well. We didn't change any functionality when we moved creds over so that we could maintain backwards compat so my guess is that it has always been this way.

Not sure we have the capacity right now to add this but marked with help wanted. Will also look and see if we have any other instances of folks wanting this to help give it more prio.

I found the same issue with the RedHat Satellite 6 Cred Type, that is attached to a inventory source as "Source Credential".
When i try to setup "theforeman.foreman" plugin to work as dynamic inventory, the ENV's don't get injected. The paremeter "user" and "password" should not be implemented into the dynamic my.foreman.yml because the creds type inject the "FOREMAN_PASS", but i get the error, that pass and user is required. So the ENV's didn't get injected. Is this working like it shoud be or should the ENV's be injected for an dynamic inventory file?
EDIT: I tested it with an custom cred type where i added

env:
  FOREMAN_URL: '{{ server_fqdn }}'
  FOREMAN_USER: '{{ username | default('''') }}'
  FOREMAN_PASSWORD: '{{ password | default('''') }}'

and this works fine, like expected from the RedHat Satellite6 Cred type.
