STEPS TO REPRODUCE

• Add non-LLD item as a master item to itemprototype using ansible

    # - name: "{% raw %}Create item prototype - Manual rate error JSON ({#ERROR_ID}){% endraw %}"
    #   community.zabbix.zabbix_itemprototype:
    #     name: "{% raw %}Manual rate error JSON ({#ERROR_ID}){% endraw %}"
    #     discoveryrule_name: "Manual rate error discovery"
    #     template_name: "WOW App"
    #     params:
    #       type: dependent_item
    #       key: "{% raw %}manual_rate_error.json[{#ERROR_ID}]{% endraw %}"
    #       value_type: text
    #       master_item:
    #         template_name: "WOW App"
    #         item_name: 'Manual exchange rate: error list (JSON)'
    #         discoveryrule_name: "Manual rate error discovery"
    #       preprocessing:
    #         - type: javascript
    #           params: |
    #             {% raw %}
    #             try {
    #                 var arr = JSON.parse(value);
    #                 var targetId = "{#ERROR_ID}";
    #                 for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    #                     if (arr[i].id == targetId) {
    #                         return JSON.stringify(arr[i]);
    #                     }
    #                 }
    #                 return "";
    #             } catch (e) {
    #                 return "";
    #             }
    #             {% endraw %}
    #           error_handler: zabbix_server
    #       tags:
    #         - tag: WOW
    #           value: application
    #     state: present

EXPECTED RESULTS

• Non-lld master item assigned using ansible

ACTUAL RESULTS
