Hi,

Is it possible to use environment variables, or user defined variables in the filters or jinja templates in the **inventory plugin**. If yes, please could you provide an example.

Thank you

Hello @ajprok. Welcome to the Ansible Forum!

It seems that the `community.digitalocean.digitalocean` inventory plugin is only available for templates for the `oauth_token` option.

```yaml
oauth_token: '{{ lookup("pipe", "./get-do-token.sh") }}'

```

Thank you for the info. I hope the feature can be added to make the inventory more dynamic.
