First thank you for your help. :grinning: A little background on what I am trying to accomplish. I am pulling a query via JSON and submitting to another API(Servicedesk).

oh Thank you very much. this works much better. I prefer not to make a global change for on variable. appreciate the help.

don’t use var to check types, it does ‘forced jsonization’, use msg: - debug: msg="{{ json.[0].jmesquery | int| type_debug }}" The trick is to always cast at consumption, if you do this in intermediate steps you might still get ‘stringified’, using the ‘native’ engine minimizes this but does not r…
