Hi,  
I want to import an inventory from a project.  
I can import groups and hosts and also group\_vars, but it seems awx cannot parse host\_vars.  
I’m using awx 21.1.0  
Regards

Hi!

To clarify, are you attempting to use the host\_vars/ directory to import host vars, or are these variables in the inventory file itself? Same thing for group vars, are you using the group\_vars/ directory?

Thanks
