@maJarv-nwg Thanks for opening this request. We are in discussions and evaluating approaches to this and will post back here soon.

@maJarv-nwg we believe you can achieve the desired result using a new flag that we added to the dcnm_policy module.

https://github.com/CiscoDevNet/ansible-dcnm/blob/develop/plugins/modules/dcnm_policy.py#L47

The flag is called use_desc_as_key and when set to true will create a policy that can be tracked using the description to identify the unique policy. The policy tracked by the description name can be applied to multiple devices. Can you take a look?

We have not released it yet but it's currently committed in our develop branch
