Hello

I send Interface name(variable) to AWX through Python code,  
and AWX execute a template by receiving the information as extra\_vas.

However, the following error is displayed on the AWX UI.

Both of these codes failed.  
Could you help me to resolve the issue.

Thanks in advance

Cheers,

This is my python code #1

I found a solution.

When I run Rest API POST, I found “ignored\_fields”:{“extra\_vars”:{“int”:“eth1/1”}} message.

So , refer to this page  
[http://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/administration/tipsandtricks.html](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/administration/tipsandtricks.html)

I enabled “ask\_variables\_on\_launch” for a template .

it was fixed. 🙂
