Actually, I think that you can do this, with a little creativity...
vars:
- users:
- { name: test1, uid: 1234}
- { name: test2}
tasks:
-name: Create user
debug: msg="user name={{item.name}} {% if item.uid is defined %}
'uid='{{item.uid}}{% endif %}"
with_items: users
And here was the output from my testing...
TASK: [debug msg="user name={{item.name}} {% if item.uid is defined %}
'uid='{{item.uid}}{% endif %}"] ***
ok: [10.246.72.170] => (item={'name': 'test1', 'uid': 1234}) => {
"item": {
"name": "test1",
"uid": 1234
},
"msg": "user name=test1 'uid='1234"
}
ok: [10.246.72.170] => (item={'name': 'test2'}) => {
"item": {
"name": "test2"
},
"msg": "user name=test2 "
}
Of course you would want to replace the
debug: msg="user name={{item.name}} {% if item.uid is defined %}
'uid='{{item.uid}}{% endif %}"
with
user: name={{item.name}} {% if item.uid is defined %} 'uid='{{item.uid}}{%
endif %}
but I think that that should work... It is certainly worth a try... :-)
