Thank you Mike for the reply! One of my co-worker helped me out. Basically, I was using nested with_items in two playbook. I have playbook1 running with_items to include playbook2 with tasks which also trying to use with_items, so it failed in the 2nd playbook which the with_items are not looping using new value, still using the items in playbook1.
Ansible team, is what I described correct? I think I may need to redo the playbook with with_nested see if I can make it work.
