STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Create a job template with a survey. Within the survey, add a multiple choice (single select) prompt. Export the job template using the tower_receive module. Import the configuration using the tower_send module.

 - name: "Gather Configurations from Source Tower"
     tower_receive:
       tower_host: "{{ sourceTowerUrl }}"
       tower_username: "{{ sourceTowerUsername }}"
       tower_password: "{{ sourceTowerPassword }}"
       validate_certs: no
       job_template:  ["Template with MC Survey Option"]
     register: sourceTowerConfig
- name: "Import Configurations into Destination Tower"
     tower_send:
       assets: "{{ sourceTowerConfig.assets }}"
       tower_host: "{{ destinationTowerUrl }}"
       tower_username: "{{ destinationTowerUsername }}"
       tower_password: "{{ destinationTowerPassword }}"
       validate_certs: no

EXPECTED RESULTS

Job template is imported to destination tower with survey intact.

Those modules have moved here:

https://github.com/ansible/awx/tree/devel/awx_collection
https://galaxy.ansible.com/awx/awx

Within a few weeks, they will be deleted. The issue tracker is now the AWX issue tracker.

The send / receive modules were wrappers around the tower-cli library which is deprecated.

A replacement is in the works at ansible/awx#6125. That will replace the tower_send and tower_receive functionality with new modules and those will be marked as deprecated.
