I don't see where you're setting uid, the debug step, or its output. All I
see is that
loop:
- "{{ uid }}"
is only producing one invocation of the task with the desired values all
glommed into one string.
Please show your input code and resulting output. I suspect you're somehow
producing a string rather than a list, but with nothing to look at, it's
hard to know.
