Your indentation is little off. - name: Edit.. and jira module should be a list under the tasks. In yaml indentation is very important. - name: Updating ticket on Jira (testing)    hosts: localhost    gather\_facts: no    tasks:    - name: Edit issue - use arguments with fields      jira:        uri: [https://xxx.atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/issue/](https://xxx.atlassian.net/rest/api/latest/issue/)        username: xxx.x.xxx@xxx.com        password: xx        issue: xxx-1        operation: transition        status: Done
