  tasks:
  - name: Change host record IP
    nios_host_record:
      name: "{{ item.hostname }}"

Hi there

The main development of the nios modules has moved over to https://github.com/infobloxopen/infoblox-ansible/

You should probably create the same issue there and close this one. The nios modules are set for deprecation in community.general on version 5.0.0 (spring 2022, still far away but nonetheless set).

Thanks for your contribution!
