Ansible cli_command prompt not working as expected - ansible

Question

I'm trying to do a ping command from a Cisco device. I have to use the extended ping command, I cannot specify the arguments in only one line.
This is what the router is expecting:
ping
Protocol [ip]:
Target IP address: <IP HERE>
Repeat count [5]:
Datagram size [100]:
Timeout in seconds [2]:
Extended commands [n]: y
Ingress ping [n]:
Source address or interface: <INT HERE>
DSCP Value [0]:
Type of service [0]:
Set DF bit in IP header? [no]:
Validate reply data? [no]:
Data pattern [0x0000ABCD]:
Loose, Strict, Record, Timestamp, Verbose[none]:
Sweep range of sizes [n]:
As you see, I'm only defining the target IP, the extended command flag and the source interface.
This is how my task looks like now:
- name: Run Cisco command (ping)
cli_command:
command: ping
prompt:
- "Protocol [ip]:"
- "Target IP address:"
- "Repeat count [5]:"
- "Datagram size [100]:"
- "Timeout in seconds [2]:"
- "Extended commands [n]:"
- "Ingress ping [n]:"
- "Source address or interface:"
- "DSCP Value [0]:"
- "Type of service [0]:"
- "Set DF bit in IP header? [no]:"
- "Validate reply data? [no]:"
- "Data pattern [0x0000ABCD]:"
- "Loose, Strict, Record, Timestamp, Verbose[none]:"
- "Sweep range of sizes [n]:"
answer:
- ''
- "{{ item }}"
- "{{ count }}" (I'm specifying the number of packets here but its optional, same for the size)
- "{{ size }}"
- ''
- y
- ''
- loopback1
- ''
- ''
- ''
- ''
- ''
- ''
- ''
with_lines: cat "{{ dest_file }}"
ignore_errors: yes
when: ansible_network_os == 'ios'
And this is what ansible returns:

First, the first of each pair of IPs always timeouts, even if its reachable. It doesn't matter if its a 30 second or 120 second timeout.
Second, why is the first prompt (protocol) taking the value "ping" instead of the value ""? "% Unknown protocol - "ping", type "ping ?" for help"
I changed the empty answer to : "", '', \n, "ip" but none worked, the result is always the same.
I changed also the prompt to: "Protocol [ip]:", "Protocol [ip]", "Protocol [ip]: ", Protocol [ip], Protocol [ip] but none worked.
The idea is that the 15 answers answer to the 15 prompts in order.
Any idea on what I'm doing wrong?
