Feature Summary

Using an inventory source with an inventory plugin that uses a *.yml for it's configuration works nice but if it requires a password, it should be a vault encrypted string.

Using a vault encrypted string in the yml config works quite nicely with ansible-inventory. I have no issues with it on the command-line.

When I want to use a vault credential in AWX in an inventory source I can not do that. Only custom credentials can be used.

I read in this GitHub issue that you can get it to work with a custom credential but it is pretty much a work around and could be used with a vault credential if ansible-inventory would support vault password prompting:

#223 "Vault passwords are (currently) passed in AWX by prompting via pexpect"

ansible-inventory does support prompting( now) so could this option be added now?

Steps to reproduce

Configure a vault credential
Create an inventory config
Add an inventory source to the inventory config with source "Sourced from a project"

Try to add a vault credential in the Credentials field. ( You can not)

Current results

A vault credential can't be used in the inventory source config.

Sugested feature result

A vault credential can be selected which will then be used for the inventory plugin config *.yml file to decrypt the vault string.
