both have the same problem, when in the existing host object store the following groups

When the existing host have this groups

The jobs running without problems.

Also when i create new hosts with groups and subgroups with the playbook

the first time the job is running without problems, the second run have the error

[BGmot]

Thank you. By the way groups: cannot be empty list.

[Midas1989]

Hello @BGmot

Sorry but the problem ist also with filled groups.

Please read the issue

I can create hosts inital without problems (also with subgroups in the list), on the second run i have the issue.
Only the created group have subgroups in the groups.

Update:
The problem is only when groups are linked over the Playbook before.
It is not relevant whether they are normal groups or subgroups
When i add by the playbook a additional group by the second run, the second run is also successfull
When i add or remove a group on a host over the UI, the second run is also succesfu ll
Only when the groups for a host on the playbook and on zabbix is the same, i become the error
