When launching Workflow Job Template from API (Tower CLI), extra variables  
will not pass to the workflow.  
via graphical interface works, but via Tower-cli no, the command is as  
follows:

#tower-cli workflow\_job lauch -W "instalacao windows" -e "memory=2048  
serverName=myserver ip=10.0.0.10" --monitor

I found this article that talks about setting the  
"ask\_variables\_on\_launch": true but it still does not work

[https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3637291](https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3637291)

is there any configuration to be performed to pass variables as a parameter  
to a workflow?  
mey workflow has 4 jobs templates that need these variables (via GUI works)

it seems that some go as "null"
