ansible problem with single quote, double quote in uri body - ansible

Question

I have a problem with the correct syntax to address an API with absolutely don't understands any json arguments.
In the body must be exactly one value in this form '["XXXX"]' so that it works.
- uri:
url: "{{ AssociatePolicies_url }}"
method: POST
return_content: yes
validate_certs: no
body_format: form-urlencoded
body:
apiKey: "{{ apiKey }}"
ASSIGNED_POLICIES: '["XXXX"]'
RESOURCEID: "{{ resourceId }}"
RUNCOMPCHECK_STATUS: true
headers:
Content-Type: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8"
but when I pass the value now as variable i don't get it in the correct form
---
- name: Post to API
hosts: KingKong
connection: local
gather_facts: no
vars:
policygroup:
- XXXX
# - YYYY
# - ZZZZ
tasks:
- uri:
url: "{{ AssociatePolicies_url }}"
method: POST
return_content: yes
validate_certs: no
body_format: form-urlencoded
body:
apiKey: "{{ apiKey }}"
ASSIGNED_POLICIES: "'["{{ item }}"]'"
RESOURCEID: "{{ resourceId }}"
RUNCOMPCHECK_STATUS: true
headers:
Content-Type: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8"
with_items: "{{ policygroup }}"
Is the response: Error while parsing ASSIGNED_POLICIES json data
After various approaches I don't get any closer to the result:
ASSIGNED_POLICIES: "\'[{{ item }}]\'" is the format '[XXXX]
ASSIGNED_POLICIES: \'["{{ item }}"]\' is the format \\'[\"XXXX\"]\\'
ASSIGNED_POLICIES: "\'[\"{{ item }}\"]\'" is the format '[\"XXXX\"]'
ASSIGNED_POLICIES: "\'["{{ item }}"]\'" playbook error
ASSIGNED_POLICIES: "\'[{{ \" }}{{ item }}{{\"}}]\'" is the format '[ }}{{ item }}{{]'"}]
where I get almost closer to the format is:
ASSIGNED_POLICIES: "\'['{{ item }}']\'" is the format "'['XXXX']'"
but with single quote in front anb ack of XXXX but there must be double quote.
Maybe one of you has a creative idea

Answer 1

I have corrected my source code above and post below what I get back as a response.
What i see in see response:
"content": "{\"error\":{\"message\":\"Error while parsing ASSIGNED_POLICIES json data.\",\"errorcode\":\"JSON_PARSE_ERROR\"}}\n"
and the wrong format:
"ASSIGNED_POLICIES": "'[XXXX]'"
It is missing double quote in front and behind XXXX.
this must be the correct post
"ASSIGNED_POLICIES": "'["XXXX"]'"
