Technically possible, but perhaps a little frustrating to implement 🙂 We’d be happy if someone wanted to take a crack at it, though I think in general we’re waiting for some refactoring to happen first so there’s more one common entity to ask about variable “context” questions before going at it. (It should be noted that inventory variables, because they can be different per host, will also never show up in task names) ---
