Hi tl, you can also provide a YAML list.
See the documentation: it explicitly says `list / elements=string`. https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/general/zypper_module.html#parameter-name Providing a comma-separated string instead of a list is something Ansible allows, but you do not have to do that.
