Hi,

Thanks for the reponse. This works but I dont quite understand it...

So copylist  is now basically a list with two listed values
    - src
    - src

How does it pick up dest when its not really designated as a list item with
a dash (-)?
I wouldve expected -dest to be listed aswell twice

The dash indicate start of a list item.
And item contains a dictionary, this has two element src and dest.

You can write a list of dictionary in two ways

copylist:
  - src: /home/ansible/tom/tom.txt
    dest: /home/ansible/tom1
  - src: /home/ansible/fred/fred.txt
    dest: /home/ansible/fred1

or

copylist:
  - {'src':'/home/ansible/tom/tom.txt', 'dest':'/home/ansible/tom1'}
  - {'src':'/home/ansible/fred/fred.txt', 'dest':'/home/ansible/fred1'}

Which syntax used, come down to personal preferences.
