### Steps to reproduce
Ansible AWX - constructed inventory doesn't get the extra_vars / survey variables passed to it...
Create "constructed inventory"
Set source vars for constructed inventory:
Run Job / Workflow Job (tested both) - with extra_vars or survey vars:
[WARNING]: * Failed to parse /runner/inventory/constructed.yml with auto
plugin: failed to parse /runner/inventory/constructed.yml: Could not set
play_customer for host HOST123: 'play_customer' is undefined. 'play_customer' is undefined
. Could not set play_customer for host HOST234: 'play_customer' is undefined.
'play_customer' is undefined
On Ansible CLI (outside AWX) - it works perfectly.
`ansible-playbook -i ./dynamic-mysql.yml -i ./constructed.yml playbooks/setup.yml -e "play_customer='Ferrari'" -l target`
### Expected results
play_customer variable being interpolated in constructed inventory
### Actual results
[WARNING]: * Failed to parse /runner/inventory/constructed.yml with auto
plugin: failed to parse /runner/inventory/constructed.yml: Could not set
play_customer for host HOST123: 'play_customer' is undefined. 'play_customer' is undefined
. Could not set play_customer for host HOST234: 'play_customer' is undefined.
'play_customer' is undefined
### Additional information
I've done lot of testing and confirmed that the 'Control Plane' execution environment that runs the inventory source job for the constructed inventory, does not have the extra vars
All the other jobs in the workflow - do have the extra vars
docker development environment
no
