New module 'set_fact' to define host facts
This module allows you to set host facts (or export play variables to the playbook scope if you fancy that). The module also accepts complex arguments. ```yaml - action: set_fact fact="something" global_fact="${local_var}"' - action: set_fact args: fact: something global_fact: ${local_var} ```

short_description: Set host facts from a task
|
||||
description:
|
||||
- This module allows you to set host facts from a task. This can be
|
||||
useful for setting facts conditionally or allows to 'export' play
|
||||
variables set by 'vars:' or 'vars_files:' to the playbook scope .
|
||||
- In comparison to variables defined in the playbook, global variables
|
||||
can be set conditionally (like any module) and are available in other
|
||||
plays.
|
||||
options:
|
||||
key_value:
|
||||
description:
|
||||
- The C(set_fact) module takes key=value pairs as variables to set
|
||||
in the playbook scope. Or alternatively, accepts complex arguments
|
||||
using the C(args:) statement.
|
||||
required: true
|
||||
default: null
|
||||
version_added: "1.2"
