I’m working on updating the cobbler inventory plugin to add `ansible_group_priority` to various groups that it creates. I’m trying to figure out if it is doing what I want. Is there any way to dump the final inventory that includes `ansible_group_priority`? `ansible-inventory --list` does not appear to do it.

There is no current way, the variable gets ‘absorbed’ into a group property and there is no way to export it or query it.

I should add it to `--export` as a variable when non 0.

Oh wait … i already did that … just forgot. [Inv export (#36188) · ansible/ansible@b403653 · GitHub](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/commit/b403653bd21)

Thanks, I should have tried that but I guess was scared off by the `not as an accurate representation of how Ansible has processed it` wording.

which is true, as `ansilbe_group_priority` is not available in the play, but it does represent a ‘reusable’ inventory as close to original as possible.
