This is my Ansible playbook ...

add_user_to_group_data: "{{ lookup('template', 'add_user_to_group_data.j2') }}"
Output of task create_user.yml printing the ID
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": {
"result": "71b248b35ea374433153bbe4"
}
}
I run the playbook basefile.yml which has the role myrole.
I'm trying to pass the ID from the result of the task create_user.yml as an input variable to the another task add_user_to_group.yml, especially in the template add_user_to_group_data.j2.
I unable to pass the variable {{ create_user_id }} to add_user_to_group_data.j2. If possible, we can create another task and call both the tasks passing some variables or to template file, but don't know how.
How do I pass the json output field value from a task as an input to another task in the role?, any help is appreciated!.
Thanks in advance!
