Hi all, i need to understand how to work with this scenario.

I have this:

  • name: “Creating DNS Record In CloudFlare”
    hosts: localhost
    gather_facts: no
    vars:
    “prod”:
    clfrecord-prod: “prod-{{ carrier }}”
    “stage”:
    clfrecord-stage: “stage-{{ carrier }”
    tasks:
    community.general.cloudflare_dns:
    zone: domain.net
    record: “{{HERE ADD clfrecord}}”
    type: CNAME
    value: x-x-xxx.elb.x-x-x.amazonaws.com
    account_email:
    account_api_key:
    proxied: yes

I passed the vars “carriers” and “env” from console.

I need to compare the console variable “{{ env }}” and if it matches prod add the value of clfrecord-prod to the “record” field, and if it is stage its corresponding value.

any helps?

You’ve got some convoluted variable definitions. Consider doing this instead
vars:
clfrecord:
prod: “prod-{{ carrier }}”
stage: “stage-{{ carrier }}”
Then in your task you can say

[I detest the groups interface, btw]

Let’s try that again.

vars:
clfrecord:
prod: “prod-{{ carrier }}”
stage: “stage-{{ carrier }}”

Then in your task you can say

record: “{{ clfrecord[env] }}”

Cheers,
