Hi all,

I believe what you are attempting should work. But you seem to be missing reference to the “set_fact” module in the second task. “some-moudle-that-sets-vars” is the “set_fact” module, and should do what you want.

Thanks very much. I couldn’t find it probably because I kept thinking in terms of ‘variables’ instead of facts.
