Feature Summary

SUMMARY Currently, very few of the "prompt_on_launch" fields are available to Workflow Templates as opposed to Job Templates.

This would provide a workaround for a lot of issues (multiple Machine Credentials, different Instance groups, etc.) that would require duplicated templates or whatever else gruesome workarounds.

Research direction
Investigate how prompt on launch fields are defined in Job Templates (likely in API models and UI forms) and why they are not exposed for Workflow Templates. Examine the AWX codebase for Workflow Template models and API views, particularly in awx/main/models/workflow.py and awx/api/views/workflow job templates.py. Also check UI components for Workflow Template editing in the awx/ui directory. Determine which fields are missing and plan to add them.
