@SRv6d This has been fixed in version 2.5.2 released a few hours ago, issue and Merge Requests can be found here

I had issues similar to this with the "address" filter returning a list as opposed to a string and can confirm that 2.5.2 fixed both issues.

Do note that this has been moved from ansible.netcommon to ansible.utils so your filter reference may need to be updated.

Thanks, the latest release does fix it. Closing the issue.
