Hi, I have a dynamic inventory in my Ansible project, and some of the files it uses are encrypted with Ansible Vault. I want to use this inventory in AWX. The issue is not in the playbooks, but in the inventory itself — specifically, when you go to Inventories → Sources → Add a Project. How can I configure AWX so that it can automatically decrypt these Vault-encrypted files when loading the inventory from the project, without having to put sensitive variables directly into Extra Vars? In other words, how can I securely use a dynamic inventory with Ansible Vault in AWX so that the inventory and its variables are decrypted for the hosts during job runs?
