fortios_export_config_playbook - system_settings selector not working

[dominicfillmore]

I have a playbook that can access loads of other selectors fine, but if I try system_settings selector, I get an error - "The error was: AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'split'"

Hi @dominicfillmore ,

Thank you for raising this issue, I can reproduce that, and have reported it to the dev team for fixing.

Thanks,

Hi @dominicfillmore ,

We just released Ansible FOS 2.3.7. This issue should be fixed, so you could upgrade to it and give it a try at your convenience.

ansible-galaxy collection install fortinet.fortios:2.3.7

Thanks,
Maxx

Thanks Maxx, This runs now. Whatever VDOM I specify in the playbook I run, the resulting playbook that this on generates will always have the values for the VDOM I specified, but have "vdom: root" in the vars. I've noticed this with quite a few of the other selectors. Is this on purpose or a bug? Ideally I should be able to run the playbook this generates without modification to restore whatever selectors I specify when I run it

Hi @dominicfillmore ,

We have improved this aspect. Since the exported playbook is a hardcoded template except for the tasks section, it may cause confusion. In the latest Ansible FOS collections, we have highlighted the customized parts that customers need to specify. Let me know if you still have quesitons.
