Steps to Reproduce

I have this data structure in vars file

devices:
  test-device1:
    name: Test Device 1
    device_type: test-device-type1
    device_role: router1
    site: UoP
    position: 12
    rack: Lande
    face: Front
    serial: "864kjfhi3y74"
    # primary_ip4: ""
    # description: ""
    # commments: ""
    interfaces:
      - name: GigabitEthernet22
        enabled: true
        mgmt_only: false
        type: 1000Base-t (1GE)
        mode: Access
        untagged_vlan: vlan401
      - name: GigabitEthernet23
        enabled: false
        mgmt_only: false
        type: 1000Base-t (1GE)
        mode: Tagged
        untagged_vlan: vlan401
        tagged_vlans: 
          - vlan1000
          - vlan1015
        lag:
          name: port-channel1

and using the following task am trying to add interfaces with tagged vlans

- name: Create interfaces
  netbox.netbox.netbox_device_interface:
    data:
      device: "{{ item.value.name }}"
      name: "{{ item.value.interfaces.0.name }}"
      enabled: "{{ item.value.interfaces.0.enabled }}"
      type: "{{ item.value.interfaces.0.type|default(omit) }}"
      untagged_vlan:
        name: "{{ item.value.interfaces.0.untagged_vlan|default(omit) }}"
      tagged_vlans:
        name: "{{ item.value.interfaces.0.tagged_vlans.0|default(omit) }}"
        site: "{{ item.value.site }}"
      mgmt_only: "{{ item.value.interfaces.0.mgmt_only|default(omit) }}"
      mode: "{{ item.value.interfaces.0.mode|default(omit) }}"
    state: present
  loop: "{{ devices | dict2items }}"

Expected Behavior

I would expect the module to take the list I am passing and make the changes to the netbox deployment.

Observed Behavior

the error I am getting is

which seems like a module issue.

What can be fixed here to add the interface with the tagged vlans? If I comment out the tagged vlan from the task it completes fine

Take a closer look at the examples for how to set the tagged_vlans argument - https://netbox-ansible-collection.readthedocs.io/en/v2.0.0/plugins/modules/netbox_device_interface/netbox.netbox.netbox_device_interface_module.html#examples

[leijonatm]

With the help of Nikos Kallergis found the answer which is change the datastructure of the tagged_vlans from

tagged_vlans:

• vlan1000
• vlan1015
  to

tagged_vlans:

• name: vlan1000
• name: vlan1015
  and change the task from

tagged_vlans:
name: "{{ item.1.tagged_vlans.0|default(omit) }}"
to

tagged_vlans: "{{ item.1.tagged_vlans.0|default(omit) }}"
