Hi,

I have a playbook to retrieve user details and getting the output by using debug module. on same playbook second task to comment the user details in JIRA ticket.

msg: “{{ user | list | to\_yaml }}”

- name: Commenting output to Jira  
hosts: 127.0.0.1  
connection: local  
tasks:

- name: Comment on issue  
jira:  
uri: ‘[https://xxxxx](https://xxxxx)’  
username: ‘xxxx’  
password: ‘xxxx’  
issue: ‘xxxx’  
operation: comment  
comment: “{{ user | list | to\_yaml }}” \>\>\> i tried this way but didn’t work  
delegate\_to: localhost

Thank you,  
Ramesh

What does that “user” variable look like?  
What does “didn’t work” mean exactly?

HI Dick / Abhijeet,

I want to pass the below variable data’s to Jira comment section .

TASK [debug] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
ok: [test1] =\> {}

MSG:

- {accountStatus: active, id: ‘1’, name: admin, priv: admin}
- {accountStatus: active, id: ‘2’, name: VE, priv: admin}
- {accountStatus: active, id: ‘3’, name: RIOR, priv: admin}
- {accountStatus: active, id: ‘4’, name: VPIO, priv: admin}
- {accountStatus: active, id: ‘5’, name: vie, priv: admin}

I’m able to comment the debug output but there’s no host/IP details… is there any way to take and comment as well . ?

**Now** : commenting below format,

{accountStatus: active, id: ‘1’, name: admin, priv: admin}

- {accountStatus: active, id: ‘2’, name: VE, priv: admin}
- {accountStatus: active, id: ‘3’, name: RIOR, priv: admin}
- {accountStatus: active, id: ‘4’, name: VPIO, priv: admin}
- {accountStatus: active, id: ‘5’, name: vie, priv: admin}
- {accountStatus: active, id: ‘6’, name: p5work, priv: admin}
- {accountStatus: active, id: ‘7’, name: DEU, priv: admin}

**expecting comment** : should be with hostname / IP address

ok: [test1] =\> {}

MSG:

- {accountStatus: active, id: ‘1’, name: admin, priv: admin}
- {accountStatus: active, id: ‘2’, name: VE, priv: admin}
- {accountStatus: active, id: ‘3’, name: RIOR, priv: admin}
- {accountStatus: active, id: ‘4’, name: VPIO, priv: admin}
- {accountStatus: active, id: ‘5’, name: vie, priv: admin}
- {accountStatus: active, id: ‘6’, name: p5work, priv: admin}
- {accountStatus: active, id: ‘7’, name: DEU, priv: admin}

Correct. You didn’t mention that at all, nor how that data looks like, nor where it comes from.
