Hi @gdevenyi, thanks for reporting this issue.

When I first saw it I thought we might be able to solve the problem by using environment, an Ansible keyword available to any module. I wrote PR #5845 adding a test for that and it seems that it indeed works.

Please let me know whether this solution does not work for you.

Cheers,
AZ
