Rich et al - Iâm supportive of this change provided the proposed text to explain the template concept vs executable is updated to describe the use of this new property.

I assume this property would be required (?) and therefore we should decide what the default value (false) would indicate. I suggest that the default value should be the likely majority playbook class/category.Â

So if most playbooks will be templates then is_executable would be a good name and default to false.

If most playbooks would be executable then is_template might be better to name the property and that way the default value of false would work nicely.

Hi All,

Â

On the working call yesterday there was a discussion about section 1.3 of the CACAO working document.Â Some of the important points:

Â

The difference between an executable playbook and a playbook template is mostly subjective.Â There are suggestions to the text to help clarify this.
There is no difference between an executable playbook and a playbook template in terms of their properties
The term paybook class is confusing, since it is specified using the type property of a playbook.

Â

A suggested proposal is to remove the concept of playbook classes, and replace it by a new Boolean property, maybe called âis_executableâ, to differentiate between executable playbooks and playbook templates.
