Thanks Abhijeet, I went through prompts document and yes we can pass values at execution *but those values will not be useful while OS installation on VM we have created I guess*. I have a case where *i need to pass information to EULA(end user licence agreement)* after creating vm through play, is it possible through ansible i am new so looking for ways to solve this issue.
