Hey everybody,

since I started using ansible 2.0 I’ve been having issues with this task:

`

- synchronize: src=/src/srcfile dest=/home/{{item}}/  
remote\_user: ‘{{item}}’  
with\_items:
- user1
- user2

`

with\_items works fine for the dest parameter. It iterates through the entire list. But for the remote\_user it uses user1 but doesn’t swithc to user2, user3,… for the next iterations.

In ansible 1.8, which I used previously, I didn’t have an issue with this. Do I need to use a different syntax? Or is this simply not supported anymore in ansible 2.0?
