Hi need to run a template with the the value of ANSIBLE\_JINJA2\_NATIVE=true to fix a problem with URI module.  
I need to execute a POST with variables created with the set\_fact command that add double quotes (which must not be present).  
From CLI I solved it by prefixing ANSIBLE\_JINJA2\_NATIVE=True to the ansible-playbook command

You can set environment variables via AWX Operator to have your EE’s set this value, eg:

```yaml
ee_extra_env: |-
  - name: ANSIBLE_JINJA2_NATIVE
    value: True

```

Once you apply this change and after AWX Operator reconciles, jobs you run from AWX will have this environment variable set and will be passed to `ansible-playbook` via `ansible-runner` in your jobs.

Thanks.  
I solved it by inserting the definition inside “setting”-\>Job-\>Job settings-\>Extra Environment Variables
