You may have a typo or 2 in your sample case. This works fine for me:
$ cat tst.yml
---
- hosts: localhost
vars:
staff:
- { netid: user001, uid: 12345, comment: "Chris Short", state:
present }
- { netid: user002, uid: 12346, comment: "Bob Jones", state:
absent }
tasks:
- name: Do Something
shell: "echo 'present: {{ item.netid }}'"
with_items:
- "{{ staff }}"
when: item.state == 'present'
$ ansible-playbook tst.yml
