Conflicting action statements: set_fact, add_host

Get Help
1

Hello

I retrieve all hosts from the monitoring system to var host_list.
Than I loop through host_list and want to build an inventory with add_host: by passing through some filters. Finally, the build inventory will be taken to install software. But, I receive the following error:

Vault password: 

PLAY [Update all CMK agents] ***************************************************

TASK [get host list from CMK] **************************************************
ERROR! conflicting action statements: set_fact, add_host

The error appears to be in '/runner/project/import_cmk_get_list.yaml': line 67, column 5, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

  # ############################################# WindowsServerDomain ###################################
  - name: Add host to group 'WindowsServerDomain'
    ^ here

I want to use set_fact: to the the var Kunde for each item of the loop for a later use to the the appropriate credentials. The playbook is running in AWX.
I have no idea why this happens. I googled a long time but find no solution.
Hope someone can give me hint or the solution.
Following the piece of the playbook around the error.

This is improper. You can’t call set_facts and add_host in the same task.

P.S. You probably want to use vars: instead of set_facts here.
