Hello all, I'm trying to figure out a solution. Here is the scope of the project.

My ansible role uses a series of user.yml files stored in multiple submodules to create/update users in Azure AD. When it creates a user, it will update the user.yml file, add, commit, then push the changes back to the submodules repo under a new branch, triggering a pipeline to create a merge request for review. All of this is working as intended when I run it from my local machine, but for production it will be running in AWX. The problem I'm getting is the git metadata doesn't seem to move over from the AWX instance into the AWX_RUNNER instance where the code actually runs. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get this sorted? I'm at my wit's end.
