Hi Dick and Ansible gurus,  
I want to continue to other items of loop even if any of the item is failed in loop(probably we did not define that item and because of that - item failed, in that case it should continue to remaining items). How can we use ignore\_errors:yes which applies to all items in loop.  
Below is snippet :  
name: Application Configuration  
uri:  
url: http://{{ my\_ip | default(ansible\_fqdn) }}:{{8080 + (instance\_id | int -1)\*100}}/my-config/rest/{{item.resource}}  
body\_format: json  
method: PUT  
body: “{{[item.name](http://item.name)}}”  
user: “{{ app\_user }}”  
password: “{{ api\_password }}”  
force\_basic\_auth: true  
follow\_redirects: all  
with\_items:

- { name: ‘{{item1cfg}}’, resource: ‘item1’ }
- { name: ‘{{item2cfg}}’, resource: ‘item2’ }
- { name: ‘{{item3cfg}}’, resource: ‘item3’ }  
when: item1cfg is defined or item2cfg is defined or item3cfg is defined  
ignore\_errors: yes

This doesn't make much sense to me ... you should know which items exists.

But try failed\_when: ... this will be applied for every item in the loop.
