Hi, I have a below playbook wherein i am using gather info to get volumes and trying to get latest volume using Creation_time but it seems its not able to pick the volume with last creation time. Below is a playbook and error.

Error is coming while calculating QOS Policy name which like <vol_name>-premium. Error is

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {
"msg": "An unhandled exception occurred while templating '{{ vol_name }}-premium'. Error was a <class 'ansible.errors.AnsibleError'>, original message: An unhandled exception occurred while templating '{{ vol_name }}'. Error was a <class 'ansible.errors.AnsibleError'>,
