Hi Matt

Does core 2.12.0b2 support module_defaults for collections ?

I'm working on a collection of modules and would like to use the ability to specify module_defaults for my custom collection like so.

- hosts:

   - localhost

  module_defaults:

    mynamespace.mycollection:

       mymoduledefaultparam: ansible_date_time.epoch

  tasks:

    - name: "mytestmodule"

       mynamespace.mycollection.mytestmodule:

Just wondering if this is now available with this release.

I went through the change log but couldn't really tell if it was available or not.

Thanks

Dhiwakar

Yes, the feature is called `action_groups` in the changelog.

Under this section in the documentation: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-core/devel/user_guide/playbooks_module_defaults.html#module-defaults-groups

Search for "In ansible-core 2.12".
