1 year ago Hi @nwerker !
vault_write was never intended to be the extent of support for writing; rather it was meant to fill gaps in the absence of dedicated content, and the plan was always to fill out the collection with those.
I spent over a year setting up the module utils for shared functionality, shoring up tests and coverage, before finally being able to add those modules and plugins in a way that makes maximum use of shared code like auth methods.
The only thing stopping me from adding all of them myself is time; I'm spread pretty thin these days.
We have a contributor guide to help with that, and following existing plugins and modules should also help.
It's a lot easier for me to find time to help contributor PRs than to do them myself these days.
For you or anyone else interested here's an example of a recent dedicated module added by a contributor:

SUMMARY
I've read through some of the issues and understand the scope of the modules and that the vault_write Module has it's particular scope and purpose. It would be nice to have a module specialized on KV secrets, with a certain behavior that makes it more suitable for some ansible tasks than the vault_write module.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This module should have the following functionality to set it apart from existing modules:
There is an existing module which implements this in quite a nice manner regarding the user experience. Terry Howe Module, however, there are a few reasons why I wish to see such functionality in this collection!
