Choose your requirement from the below menu

Add new name.

Modify an existing name.

For option 1 it needs to ask again ;

Name

Enter the ID

For option 2 it needs to ask again ;

Prompt the below menu ;

I have tried with vars_prompt, since I am newbie stuck with using conditionals along with vars_prompt.

    ---

    - name: Inventory automation for SMGT clients

      hosts: localhost

      vars_prompt:

        - name: "options"

          prompt: "nChoose your requirement from the below menu:nn1. Add new name.n2. Modify an existing namenn"

          private: no

        - name: "client"

          prompt: "nName "

          private: no

          when: (options == "1")

        - name: "client_id"
