when statements are already implicitly wrapped in jinja2 templating.

Effectively you just need:

```
when: item in csv_ip_mac_details
```

As simple as removing the {{ }} jinja2 delimiters.

Hi Mat,

Thanks for the suggestion.
That worked for me as a charm :)

No Matter if "system_ip_mac_details" value is present or not in the "csv_ip_mac_details"  am getting the same output every time.
Pls suggest
