Passing Aria Automation 8.18 Project properties to Ansible integration stanza

[evil242]

We are having issues getting a custom property established at the Project level to the Ansible integration Stanza

For example we have where we are trying to convey a LDAP netgroup into the host via Ansible hostVariable

  Cloud_Ansible_1:
    type: Cloud.Ansible
    properties:
      host: ${resource.Cloud_vSphere_Machine_1.*}
      osType: linux
      account:Ansible-Dev
      playbooks:
        provision:
          - /opt/ansible/devl/master/playbooks/vra/vra_provision_host.yml
          - /opt/ansible/devl/playbooks/satellite/migrateToNewSatellite.yml
        de-provision:
          - /opt/ansible/devl/master/playbooks/vra/vra_deprovision_host.yml
      hostVariables:
        netgroup: ${LDAPnetgroup}
      privateKeyFile: /opt/ansible/.ssh/id_rsa

 

At the deployment level we see the variable on the Cloud_vSphere_Machine_1 resource 

But then on the Cloud_Ansible_1 I can't seem to get it to reference the LDAPnetgroup variable that was came from the Project > Provision > Custom Properties

As you can see, in the deployment, the variable hostvariables {"netgroup":"${LDAPnetgroup}"} comes across.  Which then gets populated exactly as +@${LDAPnetgroup} instead of desired +@lc_abc_adm into the /etc/password

What's the proper way to pass Project custom properties to the Cloud_Ansible integration?

Project level custom property variable substitution with Aria Automation expression syntax can achieve this by replacing netgroups value as you have it changed to:
${resource.Cloud_vSphere_Machine_1.LDAPnetgroup}
