Thank you @Vladimir for the solution. I will test this and share you the
update. value_command is the module, do we need to add the vars in the
module ?
vars:
command_set:
A: ipaddr
B: ifconfig
C: freespace -m
D: yum repolist
vars_prompt:
- name: input
prompt: Please enter the option {{ command_set.keys()|list }}
private: no
tasks:
- name: checking the switchshow
value_command:
command_set:
- debug:
msg: Command {{ command_set[input] }}
when: input in command_set.keys()|list
