Ansible - vmware_guest module to create windows server machine - ansible

Question

I am trying to create a windows server machine with the vmware_guest module from a template. I see that it ignore the parameter disk and its option size_gb. When the playbook create the virtual machine, it has the same disk size of the template This only happens when I create a windows server machine, if I try to create a linux server, the module it works correctly.
This is my playbook
- name: Clone VM from template with static IP

validate_certs: "{{ validate_certs | default('False') }}"

I would try limiting your indentation. See if that helps.
disk:
- size_gb: "{{ disk_size | default('16') }}"
type: "{{ vm_disk_type | default('thin') }}"
datastore: "{{ vm_datastore }}"
