See also the second use case, its a bit of an edge case but shows that a general answer may be more useful than fixing a specific module. For example the file download case could be solved by modifying they get_url module to take a list of sources, but that only solves one specific case. Add the functionality to core and it can be used with any module. I'm also not sure a new with_ is needed, maybe access to another variable within loop conditionals, or a new conditional such as break_when? -- Hugh Saunders -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
