A flag is simply a boolean (True/False, Yes/No) value. In this case, it
marks the group as external, which would accept users from trusted domains,
or not.
The error message you were receiving means that you try to modify a group
with the same configuration the group already has. This case, IMHO, should
be handled by the Ansible module.
Oh... as they did here
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/26282/files
and just now I realized that while the issue is open, looks like the fix
has already been merged.

Solved it.
So it appears that external: False generates the error.
If I omit this parameter, the role works as expected.
"external" is of type flag in the documentation. What is the specificity
of flag type?

Hello,
There is an open issue about this:
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/25660
You can try ansible-freeipa (
https://github.com/freeipa/ansible-freeipa),
that has an idempotent ipagroup module.

Hello,
I am working to automate my freeipa configuration (parts of it at least)
and I hit a strange behavior.
I'm not sure if it's a bug or if i'm doing it wrong.
When creating a user group with the ipa_group ansible role (ansible 2.9.5)
it works fine if the there are some modifications to perform or if the
group doesn't exist.
But if I run it another time, the task fails with the message "msg":
"response group_mod: no modifications to be performed"
It looks like the task sends a modification request with nothing to
modify...
I do not see the same behavior for external groups. The tasks does nothing
as expected.
Is it a known issue? Is there a workaround? Am I doing it wrong?
Here is a sample of code that generates the error.

- name: Playbook to configure IPA clients with username/password
hosts: localhost
become: true
tasks:
- name: "Create IPA user group"
ipa_group:
cn: "ipagroup"
external: False
state: present
validate_certs: False
ipa_host: "{{ ipaserver_host }}"
ipa_user: "{{ ipaadmin_principal }}"
ipa_pass: "{{ ipaadmin_password }}"
...
Thank you
