Help needed on URI Module POST

[Mohammed Reehan]

Hi Ansible Experts,

I am trying to use Ansible URI as below to post the content where my input is a variable of type Array in the body.

I am trying to pass the input as an Array into the body under Contentdetials which is an array. however, it is ending up reading as a string. 

any idea how can I achieve this? i tried with With_items to loop the input but it is not working. 

I have also pasted my JSON (JS body below) and input it as an array.

Looking forward to hearing from you and helping with this

Regards

Reehan

Hi Mohammed,

I think if you only write this, it works :

- contentDetails: "{{ input }}"

The Jinja will interpretes the variable "input", and it's an array.
