Bug-08062022-2 "create-address-from-file", force group = yes, rewrite = yes

[nexusops]

Describe the bug

source file for the object creation contains the following. These objects already exist in the config
obj-8.8.8.8,6.6.6.6,main-range-1
obj-10.10.10.10,80.80.80.0/25,main-range-1

the script correctly creates SET commands to overwrite the two objects
set address "obj-8.8.8.8" ip-netmask 6.6.6.6/32
set address "obj-10.10.10.10" ip-netmask 80.80.80.0/25

however, it also creates DELETE commands to remove the old objects
delete address "obj-8.8.8.8" ip-netmask 8.8.8.8
delete address "obj-10.10.10.10" ip-netmask 10.10.10.10

these commands are not required, because the SET commands above replace the old object values, meaning objects with the old values no longer exist

Expected behavior

Do not generate the DELETE commands when object values are overwritten with SET commands

until now, I see this as a cosmetically issue.

sending the following set command:

admin@PA-300-1# delete address "obj-8.8.8.8" ip-netmask 8.8.8.8
Invalid syntax.

admin@PA-300-1# delete address "obj-10.10.10.10" ip-netmask 10.10.10.10
Invalid syntax.

given back "Invalid syntax."

I am keeping this issue open, but I am setting it as 'invalid' not as 'bug'

other example if field is not of same string:

admin@PA-300-1# delete rulebase security rules "test1" description test1
Invalid syntax.

Rule description was earlier set to a different value:
set rulebase security rules "test1" description "test1|test2 |sven2|test3 |sven3"

//This is from type=rule-merger if description from multiple rules get merged, and later on for each rule the description is planned to be deleted
