Loop over multiple tasks

[Jamie Addessi]

Hello,

Is it possible in Ansible to loop over multiple tasks?

Something like:

    - loop: "{{ mylist }}"

      - name: Task 1

        do something with item step 1

      - name: Task 2

        do something with item step 2

      - name: Task 3

        do something with item step 3

The only way I've found to accomplish this is to call out to a tasks file within the loop, and include all 3 tasks there.  But it would be nicer to be able to do it in a single playbook.

      - name: Loop control

        include_tasks: "tasks.yml"

        loop: "{{ mylist }}"

Thanks for any feedback!

This is the only way to do it unfortunately.
