I am trying to search for templates by name using the Zabbix API, but I am encountering an issue:

Below query is working:

curl  -X POST \
  'http://monitor.homes/api_jsonrpc.php' \
  --header 'Accept: */*' \
  --header 'User-Agent: Thunder Client (https://www.thunderclient.com)' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json-rpc' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer xxx' \
  --data-raw '{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "template.get",
  "params": {
    "output": "extend",
    "filter": {
      "name": [
                "Linux by Zabbix agent",
                "Docker by Zabbix agent 2",
                "SMART by Zabbix agent 2",
                "NVidia Sensors"
            ]
    }
  },
  "id": 1
}'

Returns a list of templates that match the names provided in the filter, which is good.
Something like:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "result": [
    {
      "proxyid": "0",
      "host": "NVidia Sensors",
      ... (truncated for brevity)

    },
    {
      "proxyid": "0",
      "host": "Docker by Zabbix agent 2",
      ... (truncated for brevity)

    },
    {
      "proxyid": "0",
      "host": "Linux by Zabbix agent",
      ... (truncated for brevity)

    },
    {
      "proxyid": "0",
      "host": "SMART by Zabbix agent 2",
      ... (truncated for brevity)
    }
  ],
  "id": 1
}

However, when I try to use a single name in the filter, like this:

curl  -X POST \
  'http://monitor.homes/api_jsonrpc.php' \
  --header 'Accept: */*' \
  --header 'User-Agent: Thunder Client (https://www.thunderclient.com)' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json-rpc' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer xxx' \
  --data-raw '{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "template.get",
  "params": {
    "output": "extend",
    "filter": {
      "name": [
                "Linux by Zabbix agent"
            ]
    }
  },
  "id": 1
}'

It returns empty results:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "result": [],
  "id": 1
}

I am expect it shows the "Linux by Zabbix agent" template details.

After a brief investigation, it seems that some template name can return expected data and some cannot:

"Linux by Zabbix agent" Returns empty
"Docker by Zabbix agent 2" Returns Data
"SMART by Zabbix agent 2" Returns empty
"NVidia Sensors" Returns empty

And
1. If you add the one ("Docker by Zabbix agent 2") can return data in the filter along with those cannot, it will return data.
2. If you remove the one ("Docker by Zabbix agent 2") that can return data, it will return empty results.

I am attaching these 4 templates here:
