1. Is there an existing issue already reported or any related bugzilla? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1794047

2. Severity: High

3. Version: 5.11.8.0 Note: I believe this issue has existed since the beginning. We started testing with ansible tower 3.6 recently and discovered this bug and for other tower providers that we have, we use v1.
