Hi,

I am trying to use a tag with an include. The include runs another play that triggers roles.

The documention says that I should be able to use the below, however when using this all tagged items run!

- include: foo.yml  
&nbsp;&nbsp;tags: [web,foo]

Haa anyone else faced this issue?

I am using the latest ansible version.

John

That adds the tag to all the included tasks, it does NOT restrict to the tasks that have that tag.
