STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Run playbook to call role with 'teams' and/or 'roles' set as input_tag against AAP instance.

@a083138 please pay attention to what repo you are posting in, I already moved your last issue to the correct repo.

[przemkalit]

Hi, I believe it is already fixed here: #19

[ivarmu]

@a083138 Could you please confirm if the issue is fixed in the latest version?

[cassanellicarlo]

I had the same issue using the role in the https://github.com/redhat-cop/infra.controller_configuration collection.
Tried also with the code in #19 but didn't solve it.

BTW, is this aap_configuration_extended in Ansible Galaxy? I haven't found it.

We still haven't created the first release of this collection. Pinging @djdanielsson @sean-m-sullivan @Tompage1994.

[djdanielsson]

I have seen a lot of PR's and issues still so I was not sure it was in a state thought to be good enough for 1.0.0. like #44 seems like that needs to be solved before a release
