Description
### Current Behavior
We have a use case of storing only a controlled number of versions for the images of our current installation.
to do this I need to be able to identify the SBOMs using project and versions via the API.
Managing the project configuration via the REST api is simply not working.
and I found enough issues from various people who hit a wall as well.
At this point i am quite convinced that there is a serious design flaw in the data model regarding Identity of the involved objects.
the interaction between the index and the relational database looks faulty.
Since the focus is more on presentation i fully understand how this could have happened.
I assume that there are no tests to verify identity within the system.
so this is an attempt to raise focus on this issue as this seems to be not just a bug but something more severe.
my 2 cents
### Proposed Behavior
have an API i can use to manage the objects in the system
