FAQ – Nautobot Ansible Automation App

Why don't password fields from my AWX survey appear in the Nautobot form?

At present, Nautobot lacks a dedicated 'secret' JobVar.
Displaying a plain-text input would:

  1. Expose credentials in the UI, and
  2. Transmit them back to AWX over the Nautobot job runner, leaving them in logs/history.

Therefore password questions are intentionally skipped during form generation.

Where do my dynamically generated jobs live?

Open Jobs → Jobs; each AWX Job Template is listed with the exact name (camel-cased). They behave like any other Nautobot Job and support scheduling, permissions, and Job History.
