Description

Currently, when attempting to use the same dataset name across different integrations, such as Custom Logs and Custom HTTP Endpoint Logs, the creation of these integration policies is not permitted. An error message is displayed:

```
Index template "" already exist and is not managed by this package, force flag is required
```

The current workaround involves using the force option, but there is a lack of clarity regarding the safety and implications of this option.

It would be beneficial to provide documentation detailing the process and safety considerations for using the force flag. And maybe implementing a user interface option to apply the force option with a clear confirmation prompt.
