Use multiple inventories in job template

We are keeping all our common/global variables in a different inventory path and DC/group specific variables in different path. This is to avoid repetitive entries of variables since our infra is distributed across multiple DCs. While running playbook we are passing both the inventories as below:

Eg:

ansible-playbook -i inventory/01-common -i inventory/provo-dc/production.yml playbooks/base/sshd.yml

Is there any way to achieve this in AWX job templates ?

Only a single inventory can be specified. But multiple inventory sources can be included in an inventory.

You may also achieve this by using smart inventories https://docs.ansible.com/automation-controller/latest/html/userguide/inventories.html#smart-inventories
