Solution proposal

I am learning Ansible and got this feature request, which came from an discussion i had long time ago with a programmer. He had desigined a application for developers where developers choose what they want in the application with click & drag feature and customize.

If Ansible Tower should have a YAML editor. This editor must show all modules of a specific device that a user selects. For example i select Cisco or F5 device and it should show all modules and what they do and it should be click and drag and make your YAML. The code should be built automatically once the module is drag & then the editor must show red marked area where user needs to put the variables etc. Once ready it can be saved locally or to a SCM if Tower is connected to it.

If this is possible, Ansible will become super easy.
