Hey Guys, im new to Ansible and glad to find this community.
My name is Marvin and i work for now one with Ansible.
I have a special use case for Ansible. I want to write a Playbook with different tasks to deploy a new VM on VMware. But every new VM is slightly different. I want to use vars and every time someone start the playbook these vars got asked maybe as popups or as fields in commandline, … i would be happy if someone can give me a hint how to write a python script or some one else for this “problem”.
Greetings
I haven’t done this yet, but it looks like this is indeed possible. See Interactive input: prompts for more information. I hope this helps.

Hi and welcome @Marvin!
Adding to what @mariolenz mentioned, if you are using AWX, @IPvSean just posted a short guide on how to use Surveys, which you can also use to accomplish it.
