Hi list,

I want to use tags in my playbook as variables.

There’s currently not a variable that gives you the names of all the tags used
We would accept a pull request to add it.

Thank you, and I'll try to implement.

Is there a way to use tags as variables?

Maybe you want to use --extra-vars instead of tags for those variables?

ansible-playbook -i hosts copyfile.yml --extra-vars=“target=xqa1app3”

My playbook right now using it.

No, you would not want to do that, because then they wouldn’t work with the “tags” keyword.
