Just for completeness in case anyone else stumbles across this issue,
my final task was:
# Use long-form for task, Ansible issue #9172
- name: Write out SSLs to files
copy:
dest: /etc/ssl/{{item.tls.domain}}.pem
owner: root
group: root
mode: 0600
content: "{{item.tls.pem}}"
with_items: l7config.frontends
when: item.tls is defined
Thanks
