Hello  
I use ansible 2.5.2

I have this responses section in my playbook:

_(?i)Login: “admin\n\r”_  
_(?i)Password: “admin\n\r”_  
_(?i)#: “password\n\r”_  
_(?i)Enter new password: “admin123\n\r”_  
_(?i)Confirm new password: “admin123\n\r”_  
_(?i)#: “logout\n\r”_

As you can see, I use two different answers with same question “#”.  
But it is not working:

> found a duplicate dict key ((?i)#).  
> Using last defined value only.

As I understood, you promise to add that functionality: [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ansible-project/850sYU11aO4](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ansible-project/850sYU11aO4)

Or I made a mistake with my playbook?

But the answers as a list under the same question.

As the documentation say  
"If the response is a list, successive matches return successive responses. List functionality is new in 2.1."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(?i)#:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- "password\n\r"  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- "logout\n\r"
