No changes happening under vm_extra_config?

Hi

I've configured the below playbook which works fine, except for one thing....nothing is happening under the vm_extra_config section?

Is there something that I have done wrong or is this a bug?

   sudo: false

   gather_facts: false

So I ran a playbook to setup a VM from scratch (not using a template), and the vm_extra_config works. It creates the VM in the folder that I specified.

What does this mean? The vm_extra_config does not work with templates?

I did see this page: https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!searchin/ansible-project/vm_extra_config/ansible-project/9Ki7tPqW2i0/vz0swUJ6CAAJ

Any ideas?
