Re-running the ansible network system role results in "changed: true" when nothing has actually changed

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • Re-running the ansible network system role results in changed: true when nothing has actually changed
  • On each run, the task "Configure networking connection profiles" reports "changed" state ; this behavior does not really comply to ansible "rules"
  • The task returns:
TASK [rhel-system-roles.network : Show debug messages]
ok: [localhost] => {
    "__network_connections_result": {
...
        "changed": true,

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3
  • Ansible
  • rhel-system-roles-1.0-21.el8.noarch
  • rhel-system-roles.network
