You do have an option :) Set the *hash_behaviour <http://docs.ansible.com/intro_configuration.html#hash-behaviour>* in your ansible.cfg to *merge*. Then you're able to write your second file like this:
at_service: svc_enabled: yes svc_state: started Which will result in the following dictionary, after merging it with the first one: at_service: pkg_name: at pkg_state: present svc_name: atd svc_enabled: yes svc_state: started Not all people like that setting though, so keep that in mind. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
