I found a solution here:
https://www.dasblinkenlichten.com/ansible-roles-and-variables/
"In the role definition Variables can also be defined as part of a role.
There are two places this can be done with variables defined in either the
‘vars’ or the ‘default’ directory of the role. Much in the same way we defined
other role functions, we can also define a ‘main.yml’ file in both of these
directories that define variable to use as part of the role. For instance
let’s assume that we have the following defined as
‘/etc/ansible/roles/webserver/defaults/main.yml’ "
/project
|___ /roles
|__ /role1
|__ /defaults
|__ main.yml

webserver_package: tomcat
http_server_port: 80
sorry, maybe I should have searched for this first
