Unfortunately play variables do not persist in between plays by design in
Ansible, generally I would try and group the tasks in a play together but
you can write your vars to files on the local Host or remote node in play 2
and then read that file in play 3. One thing I can also suggest although I
don't have a laptop to test currently is:
Play2:
Hosts: test
Tasks:
set_fact:
myvar: foo
Play3
Hosts: test
Tasks:
set_fact:
myvar: "{{ hostvars['test']['myvar'] }}"
^ that might work as I believe hostvars once defined will be carried
throughout execution
