author: Ansible Core Team (@ansible)
module: include_tasks
short_description: Dynamically include a task list
description:
  - Includes a file with a list of tasks to be executed in the current playbook.
version_added: '2.4'
options:
  file:
    description:
      - The name of the imported file is specified directly without any other option.
      - Unlike M(ansible.builtin.import_tasks), most keywords, including loop, with_items, and conditionals, apply to this statement.
      - The do until loop is not supported on M(ansible.builtin.include_tasks).
    type: str
    version_added: '2.7'
  apply:
    description:
      - Accepts a hash of task keywords (e.g. C(tags), C(become)) that will be applied to the tasks within the include.
    type: str
    version_added: '2.7'
  free-form:
    description:
      - |
        Supplying a file name via free-form C(- include_tasks: file.yml) of a file to be included is the equivalent
        of specifying an argument of I(file).
notes:
  - This is a core feature of the Ansible, rather than a module, and cannot be overridden like a module.
