Help with Ansible with YAML setting the quota_target with type tree

SCL — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 09:43:34 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to use Ansible with Yaml to set quota rules with type 'tree'. But, I seem unable to set the default quota_target value to "". Any help on how to get this done would be appreciated.

Here is my Ansible code snippet:

- name: run ontap na_ontap_quotas netapp.ontap.na_ontap_quotas: state: "{{ item.state | default('present') }}" vserver: "{{ item.vserver }}" volume: "{{ item.volume }}" quota_target: "{{ item.quota_target | default('""') }}" type: "{{ item.type | default('tree') }}" disk_limit: "{{ item.disk_limit | default('200GB') }}" threshold: "{{ item.threshold | default('180GB') }}" soft_file_limit: "{{ item.soft_file_limit | default('160GB') }}" policy: "{{ item.policy | default(omit) }}" set_quota_status: "{{ item.set_quota_status | default('on') }}" <<: *login with_items: "{{ qtrees }}"

I tried several combinations of double quotes and single quotes and escaping them and each time getting either a linter error or a syntax error (because I seem unable to pass in "" as a literal value for the target).

Thanks!

Please ignore this. I found my mistake. I forgot to update the 'with_items' line appropriately. How to delete this thread?
