I need to make a correction. It seems to work fine when I have just a basic
variable set, but I if I use the following it doesn't work. Am I thinking
about this wrong?
- name: copy template to folder
template:
src: template.j2
dest: /remote/file/location/{{ item.name }}
owner: root
group: root
mode: 0600
with_items: variable['another_var']
when: variable_array is defined
