Hi Ansible Experts,

I am trying to using Ansible URI as below to post the content where my input is a variable of type Array in the body.  
i am trying to pass the input as Array into the body under Contentdetials which is an array. however it is ending up reading as string.  
any idea how can i achieve this? i tried with With\_items to loop the input but it is not working.  
I have also pasted my JSON (JS body below) and input as an array.

Looking forward to hearing from you and help on this

Regards  
Reehan
