When running an import, I receive a response of OK, even if I changed the assets from an export. ```auto # ansible-playbook /Users/me/Documents/Ansible/AnsibleAutomation_platform/import_workflow.yaml -vvv --- - name: Import Workflow hosts: localhost connection: local gather_facts: false collections: - ansible.controller environment: CONTROLLER_HOST: https://my.company.com/ CONTROLLER_USERNAME: api_user CONTROLLER_PASSWORD: redacted CONTROLLER_VERIFY_SSL: False tasks: - debug: msg: "Starting Import" - name: Import workflow job template ansible.controller.import: assets: "{{ lookup('file', 'workflow.yaml') | from_yaml }}" register: import_results - debug: msg: "{{ import_results }}" ``` Result: ```auto TASK [debug] ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************** task path: /Users/me/Documents/Ansible/AnsibleAutomation_platform/import_workflow.yaml:21 ok: [localhost] => { "msg": { "changed": false, "failed": false } } PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************** localhost : ok=3 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0 ``` Here’s what I used to get the values for the workflow.yaml file: ```auto ansible-playbook /Users/me/Documents/Ansible/AnsibleAutomation_platform/export_job_templates.yaml -e "password=CHANGEME job_template=all" -vvv --- - name: Export Workflow hosts: localhost connection: local gather_facts: false collections: - ansible.controller environment: CONTROLLER_HOST: https://my.company.com/ CONTROLLER_USERNAME: api_user CONTROLLER_PASSWORD: "{{ password }}" CONTROLLER_VERIFY_SSL: False tasks: - debug: msg: "Starting Export" - name: Export workflow job template ansible.controller.export: job_templates: "{{ job_templates }}" register: export_results - debug: var: export_results - name: Export job template to file copy: content: "{{ export_results | to_nice_yaml( width=50, explicit_start=True, explicit_end=True) }}" dest: "workflow.yaml" ``` ---

I am guessing you need to open a support request with Red Hat or test it against awx and the awx.awx collection 🙂 ---

Tried that. Red Hat said to use their collection. Same difference. awx try: ```auto --- - name: Export Job Templates hosts: localhost connection: local gather_facts: false collections: - awx.awx environment: CONTROLLER_HOST: https://my.company.com/ CONTROLLER_USERNAME: api_user CONTROLLER_PASSWORD: CONTROLLER_VERIFY_SSL: False tasks: - debug: msg: "Starting Export" - name: Export workflow job template awx.awx.export: job_templates: 'all' register: export_results - debug: var: export_results - name: Export workflow job template to file copy: content: "{{ export_results | to_nice_yaml( width=50, explicit_start=True, explicit_end=True) }}" dest: template.yaml ``` I had tried awx before: > > > \### Please confirm the following > > \- \[X\] I agree to follow this project's \[code o…f conduct\](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/community/code\_of\_conduct.html). > \- \[X\] I have checked the \[current issues\](https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues) for duplicates. > \- \[X\] I understand that AWX is open source software provided for free and that I might not receive a timely response. > \- \[X\] I am \*\*NOT\*\* reporting a (potential) security vulnerability.

Just changing a name and adding a description to one of the workflow templates. It should return as Changed but instead its just "Ok" But they said to post here. So since Red Hat’s been quite I thought I’d give this forum a try.
