I'm inclined to believe someone is confused by the two |hostname:| parameters, and would need to see some job log evidence supporting the claim that "the sub[stitution] is being made for |name:| but not for |hostname:|." In any case, something from the job log would/should be informative.

I've found in situations like this it's helpful to change to module to |ansible.builtin.debug:| immediately followed by |msg: ||. You'd then need to play with indentation a little to make it informative.

Hi, Community,

I am passing in a list, 'vmware_hosts', to the loop in the following task in order to substitute values for the name: and hostname: parameters.  I have found only the sub is being made for name: but not for hostname:.

- name: Set powerstate of a virtual machine to poweron
  community.vmware.vmware_guest:
    hostname: "{{ vc_host_id }}"
    username: "{{ username }}"
    password: "{{ survey_password }}"
name: "{{ item }}"
    customization:
      existing_vm: true
      dns_servers:
      - "{{ dns_ns1 }}"
      - "{{ dns_ns2 }}"
hostname: "{{ item }}"
    state: poweredon
    wait_for_ip_address: true
  loop: "{{ vmware_hosts }}"
  register: vm_state
  delegate_to: localhost

For each iteration of the loop, i.e. a different host, I need these two parameters to hold the same value.

What am I missing here?

Thanks!
