Duplicate job block error when using nomad-pack plan for cron jobs

[FirstPiterSky]

Description: We are encountering a 400 error when attempting to create tasks in Nomad using the nomad-pack plan command. The error is related to duplicate job blocks in the rendered job file.

Steps to Reproduce:

• use any template to generate the job file:

[[ range $key, $ObjAll := var "jobs" . ]]
job "[[ var "job_prefix" $ ]]_cron_[[ $ObjAll.name ]]" {
~~~~~
[ [- end ]]

• render command works successfully

./nomad-pack render ./cron --var-file="./cron/cron.hcl" --to-dir ./out

• Run the following command:

./nomad-pack plan ./cron --var-file="./cron/cron.hcl"

• Error message is as follows:

! Failed To Parse Job Specification

    Error:   Unexpected response code: 400 (Failed to parse job: input.hcl:164,1-48: Duplicate job block; Only one block of type "job" is allowed. Previous definition was at input.hcl:2,1-32.

    Context: 
        - Template Name: fita_cron/templates/cron.nomad.tpl
        - Registry Name: <<local folder>>
        - Pack Name: cron
        - Pack Ref: <<none>>
        - Pack Path: /worckflow/fita/deploy/nomad/packs/cron
        - Deployment Name: cron

Expected Behavior: The job specification should be parsed and tasks should be created successfully in Nomad.

Actual Behavior: The command fails with a 400 error due to multiple "job" blocks in the generated file.
