Thanks for the response Brian

So far I have changed the syntax to the following: (Had to wrap the 
version_no == 12 in ( ) to supress `False` passing through.

lib_dir_version: "{{ (version_no == 12)| ternary('12','11') }}"


If I enter 11 in my prompt - I get the expected echo of
 echo "My lib dir version is 11."


However when I rerun the playbook, and specify 12 as the version number in 
my prompt, I still get Version 11 in the output.
echo "My lib dir version is 11."




Kind Regards
Chris
