Hi Matt

Does core 2.12.0b2 support module_defaults for collections ?
I’m working on a collection of modules and would like to use the ability to specify module_defaults for my custom collection like so.

- hosts:
- localhost
module_defaults:
mynamespace.mycollection:
mymoduledefaultparam: ansible_date_time.epoch

tasks:

- name: “mytestmodule”
mynamespace.mycollection.mytestmodule:

Just wondering if this is now available with this release.
I went through the change log but couldn’t really tell if it was available or not.

Thanks
Dhiwakar

Yes, the feature is called action_groups in the changelog.

Under this section in the documentation: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-core/devel/user_guide/playbooks_module_defaults.html#module-defaults-groups
