STEPS TO REPRODUCE

[student1@ansible ~]$ cat eos_vlans.yml
---
- hosts: rtr2
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
    - name: grab info
      eos_facts:
        gather_subset: min
        gather_network_resources: vlans

    - debug:
        var: ansible_network_resources

EXPECTED RESULTS

state: active for corresponding vlans

ACTUAL RESULTS

playbook output

[student1@ansible ~]$ ansible-playbook eos_vlans.yml

PLAY [rtr2] *********************************************************************************************************************

TASK [grab info] ****************************************************************************************************************
 [WARNING]: default value for `gather_subset` will be changed to `min` from `!config` v2.11 onwards

I still believe this is a bug... b/c we can never read the state parameter if its active... but here is another bug imho

[student1@ansible ~]$ cat vlan.yml
---
- hosts: rtr2
  gather_facts: false
  vars:
    vlans:
      - vlan_id: 2
      - vlan_id: 3
      - vlan_id: 4
      - vlan_id: 100
      - state: suspend
        vlan_id: 5
  tasks:
    - name: grab info
      eos_vlans:
        config: "{{vlans}}"

the data model won't work b/c it EXPECTS A STATE which we can't read:
