Hi Team,

Recently i came to know that with.list is getting retired , so what it is the replacement of it.

For eg using the filesystem module i need to format the list of disc please let me know which format is correct first one or the second one

-name:Format the disk  
filesystem:  
fstype: xfs  
dev:

- /dev/sda1
- /dev/sdb1
- /dev/sdc1
- /dev/sdd1
- /dev/sde1

-name:Format the disk  
filesystem:  
fstype: xfs  
dev:  
name:

- /dev/sda1
- /dev/sdb1
- /dev/sdc1
- /dev/sdd1
- /dev/sde1

I think you should have:

dev: “{{ item}}”  
loop:

- /dev/sda1
