My task:

- name: "Managing groups with gid set"  become: true  group:    name: "{{ item.value.name }}"    state: "{{ item.value.state | default('present')}}"    system: "{{ item.value.system | default('no')}}"    gid: "{{ item.value.gid }}"  with_dict: "{{ ssh_groups }}"  when: item.value.gid is defined

My variables;

  cpbo:    name: cpbo    state: present    gid: 10001
