Trying to get a playbook working with yml file containing 2 lists and
passing that into the main file to loop over.
Can someone help with letting me know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks
copylist.yml

copylist:
src:
- /home/ansible/tom/tom.txt
- /home/ansible/fred/fred.txt
dest:
- /home/ansible/tom1
- /home/ansible/fred1
This is not a list its a dictionary.
Playbook - copy.yml

- hosts: localhost
become: yes
vars:
users:
- tom
- fred
vars_files:
- copylist.yml
tasks:
- name: Create users from vars
user:
name: "{{item}}"
state: present
with_items: "{{users}}"
- name: Copy files into target directories
copy:
src: "{{item.src}}"
dest: "{{item.dest}}"
with_items: "{{copylist}}"
Since copylist is not a list but a dictionary this fails.
You need to write copylist as list you like this and you task will work.
copylist:
- src: /home/ansible/tom/tom.txt
dest: /home/ansible/tom1
- src: /home/ansible/fred/fred.txt
dest: /home/ansible/fred1
