Steps to reproduce:
- compareimport or import template with a group that already exists using the zabbix api
Result:
Using these import rules for both the compare and the import
import_rules = { "groups": { "createMissing": True, "updateExisting": True }, "templates": { "createMissing": True, "updateExisting": True }, "items": { "createMissing": True, "updateExisting": True, "deleteMissing": True }, "triggers": { "createMissing": True, "updateExisting": True, "deleteMissing": True }, "discoveryRules": { "createMissing": True, "updateExisting": True, "deleteMissing": True }, "valueMaps": { "createMissing": True, "updateExisting": False }}
The first line of the output is the result of the compare, saying it will be creating the group `ns-templates` which already exists in Zabbix. After that is the output of trying to import the template, complaining that the group already exists.
{'groups': {'added': [{'after': {'name': 'ns-templates', 'uuid': 'c717c32d0d6548339ab9f49faa1049a1'}}]}, 'templates': {'added': [{'after': {'template': 'test', 'name': 'test', 'uuid': '098f6bcd462143738ade4e832627b4f6'}}]}}

Expected:
Expect the API to see that the group already exists and assign that group rather than trying to create it again even though it already exists.
