Hi,

I want to understand when to use static task inclusion vs dynamic.

I recently ran into an issue where the ignore\_errors directive was not getting passed to the included tasks because it was not dynamically loaded.  
The task looks like this:

`

- include:   
static: no  
ignore\_errors: yes  
`

But from my understanding, having “static: no” option would apply ignore\_errors to the include task, rather than the included tasks from . Please let me know what is the correct behavior here.

Also, what are the recommendations to use one over the other?

Thanks,  
Divya
