group_vars are not getting loaded

Hello All,

I am having issues with group_vars not getting loaded into AWX any help or insight is appreciated.

With AWX, group_vars are not loaded group_vars folder is inside the inventory. The inventory files live under the inventories directory below an example project structure.

inventories
├── group_vars
│   ├── local.yml
│   └── preprod.yml
├── local
│   └── local.yml
└── preprod
    ├── admin.yml
    └── cassandra.yml

In tower, i have defined inventories “INVENTORIES/preprod_inventory/SOURCES/preprod” is defined with the source type ‘Sourced from a Project’. When job is executed inside tower, vars defined in <file_name>*.yaml are not getting loaded.

Environment:
AWX: 9.3.0
Ansible: 2.9.5
