Hi Jesse, Thanks for getting to the bottom of this and providing a working solution! Works as charm indeed! Jinja framework is crazy IMHO.
Adam: grouping does not help, I tried it before submitting my first request, as well as swapping the order. The issue is solved, thank you! I wonder what is the process of altering documentation on docs.ansible.com, googling for it provided me a link which does not contain the text that is shown in the search preview. Does submitting an issue to the Ansible repo<https://github.com/ansible/ansible> sound like a proper idea?
