Hi,
Ansible keeps casting my "yes" string variable into a boolean.
How do I prevent it from doing that?
Regards,

Depends, this can happen at many points and for diff reasons, in
general `|string` filter when you consume it ensures it is a string,
if it is happening at YAML boundry quote it or use !!str

Thanks Brian; good info.
I ended using IFELSE conditions.
