Juan Hernandez has submitted this change and it was merged. Change subject: cli: Add support for --type-name options ...................................................................... cli: Add support for --type-name options Currently when a parent object needs to be specified in a command the only alternative is to use the "--type-identifier" option. This option will locate the parent object that matches the given identifier if it is an UUID, or the name otherwise. The problem is that some parent objects have identifiers that aren't UUIDs, so this won't be able to locate them. To avoid this issue this patch introduces new "--type-name" options that can be used in the same places that the "--type-identifier" options are used. When using the existing "--type-identifier" option the parent object will be located only by id, and when using the "--type-name" option it will be located only by name, thus elimiating any potential ambiguity.
