How to Work conditionals with "when" an variables

[SysAdmin EM]

Hi all, i need to understand how to work with this scenario.

I have this:

- name: "Creating DNS Record In CloudFlare"
 hosts: localhost
 gather_facts: no
 vars:
   "prod":
      clfrecord-prod: "prod-{{ carrier }}"
   "stage":
      clfrecord-stage: "stage-{{ carrier }"
 tasks:
     community.general.cloudflare_dns:
       zone: domain.net
       record: "{{HERE ADD clfrecord}}"
       type: CNAME
       value: x-x-xxx.elb.x-x-x.amazonaws.com
       account_email:
       account_api_key:
       proxied: yes

I passed the vars "carriers" and "env" from console.

I need to compare the console variable "{{ env }}" and if it matches prod add the value of clfrecord-prod to the "record" field, and if it is stage its corresponding value.

any helps?

You've got some convoluted variable definitions. Consider doing this instead

  vars:

    clfrecord:

      prod: "prod-{{ carrier }}"

      stage: "stage-{{ carrier }}"

Then in your task you can say

Let's try that again.

Then in your task you can say
