Good day everyone. I have a question on Tower and Template Workflows. I’m trying to find how to more or less override the inventory in a role that’s in a workflow.

I know there’s the Feature [169](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/169) but I wondered as others have if there’s anything with Tower-cli or another option we can use to handle this.

My specific issue is really on a new VM deployment. The next step should be to setup the applications however it can’t as the IP address is unknown. I can move to VMWare tools but that would preclude me from using the same roles for Satellite, IPA, etc on cloud instances.
