Steps to reproduce

Run this playbook:

# ansible-playbook /Users/me/Documents/Ansible/AnsibleAutomation_platform/import_workflow.yaml -vvv
---
- name: Import Workflow
  hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  gather_facts: false
  collections:
    - awx.awx
  environment:
     CONTROLLER_HOST: https://my.company.com/
     CONTROLLER_USERNAME: api_user
     CONTROLLER_PASSWORD: redacted
     CONTROLLER_VERIFY_SSL: False
  tasks:
  - debug:
      msg: "Starting Import"
  - name: Import workflow job template
    awx.awx.import:
      assets: "{{ lookup('file', 'workflow.yaml') | from_yaml }}"
    register: import_results
  - debug:
      msg: "{{ import_results }}"

Expected results

localhost : ok=0 changed=1 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0

Actual results

TASK [debug] ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
task path: /Users/me/Documents/Ansible/AnsibleAutomation_platform/import_workflow.yaml:21
ok: [localhost] => {
    "msg": {
        "changed": false,
        "failed": false
    }
}

PLAY RECAP **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
localhost                  : ok=3    changed=0    unreachable=0    failed=0    skipped=0    rescued=0    ignored=0   

Additional information

I created the inventory using the awx.awx.export module. Here is that playbook:

# ansible-playbook /Users/me/Documents/Ansible/AnsibleAutomation_platform/export_workflow.yaml -vvv
---
- name: Export Workflow
  hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  gather_facts: false
  collections:
    - awx.awx
  environment:
     CONTROLLER_HOST: https://my.company.com/
     CONTROLLER_USERNAME: api_user
     CONTROLLER_PASSWORD: redacted
     CONTROLLER_VERIFY_SSL: False
  tasks:
  - debug:
      msg: "Starting Export"
  - name: Export workflow job template
    awx.awx.export:
      workflow_job_templates: 'all'
    register: export_results
  - debug:
      var: export_results
  - name: Export workflow job template to file
    copy:
      content: "{{ export_results | to_nice_yaml( width=50, explicit_start=True, explicit_end=True) }}"
      dest: workflow.yaml

The change I made to the workflow.yaml file was a very simple one. Just changing a name and adding a description to one of the workflow templates. It should return as Changed but instead its just "Ok"

Hello @itinneed2022 the particular error you are encountering:
"msg": { "changed": false, "failed": false }

usually points to a configuration issue within the given playbook. Would you mind asking this on the Ansible Community Forum? A member of our community should be better able to assist you with this there.

Thank you for your time!
