Setup gives :
"ansible_distribution": "Ubuntu",
"ansible_distribution_file_parsed": true,
"ansible_distribution_file_path": "/etc/os-release",
"ansible_distribution_file_variety": "Debian",
"ansible_distribution_major_version": "18",
"ansible_distribution_release": "bionic",
"ansible_distribution_version": "18.04",
I would like to use OS name as
Ubuntu20.04 & not Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
So tried below .. as *value *.. all 3 failed .. any suggestions Please, on
how to concatenate ?

The offending line appears to be:
- name: OS
value: "{{ r.ansible_facts.ansible_distribution }}" "{{
r.ansible_facts.ansible_distribution_version }}"
^ here
We could be wrong, but this one looks like it might be an issue with
missing quotes. Always quote template expression brackets when they
start a value. For instance:
with_items:
- {{ foo }}
Should be written as:
with_items:
- "{{ foo }}"
