I am trying to create and update directory permission on my linux machine by using below ansible task but it does not change the ownership properly:

for instance: directory /home/xyz/xyz/{{ IDM }} and /home/{{ IDM }} ownership permssion gets reverted to {{ IDM }}:{{ IDM }}

- name: create directory with loop
  file:
    path: "{{ item.dest }}"
    mode: "{{item.mode}}"
    owner: "{{ IDM }}"
    group: "{{ IDM }}"
    recurse: yes
    state: directory
  loop:
  - { dest: '/home/{{ IDM }}', mode: '0755', owner: root, group: root }
  - { dest: '/home/{{ IDM }}/.ssh', mode: '0700', owner: "{{ IDM }}", group: "{{ IDM }}" }
  - { dest: '/home/{{ IDM }}/to_xyz', mode: '0777', owner: "{{ IDM }}", group: "{{ IDM }}" }
  - { dest: '/home/{{ IDM }}/to_xyz/known_customers', mode: '0777', owner: "{{ IDM }}", group: "{{ IDM }}" }
  - { dest: '/home/{{ IDM }}/from_xyz', mode: '0777', owner: "{{ IDM }}", group: "{{ IDM }}" }
  - { dest: '/home/{{ IDM }}/from_xyz/merchant_invoice', mode: '0777', owner: "{{ IDM }}", group: "{{ IDM }}" }
  - { dest: '/home/{{ IDM }}/from_xyz/clearing', mode: '0777', owner: "{{ IDM }}", group: "{{ IDM }}" }
  - { dest: '/home/{{ IDM }}/from_xyz/settlement_report', mode: '0777', owner: "{{ IDM }}", group: "{{ IDM }}" }
  - { dest: '/home/{{ IDM }}/archive', mode: '0777', owner: "{{ IDM }}", group: "{{ IDM }}" }
  - { dest: '/home/{{ IDM }}/archive/settlement_report', mode: '0777', owner: "{{ IDM }}", group: "{{ IDM }}" }
  - { dest: '/home/{{ IDM }}/archive/clearing', mode: '0777', owner: "{{ IDM }}", group: "{{ IDM }}" }
  - { dest: '/home/{{ IDM }}/archive/dunning', mode: '0777', owner: "{{ IDM }}", group: "{{ IDM }}" }
  - { dest: '/home/xyz/xyz/{{ IDM }}', mode: '0755', owner: 'root', group: 'root' }

Well, because you define it as {{ IDM }}. Set owner and group to {{ item.owner }} and {{ item.group }} instead.

- name: create directory with loop
  file:
    path: "{{ item.dest }}"
    mode: "{{ item.mode }}"
    owner: "{{ item.owner }}"
    group: "{{ item.group }}"
    recurse: yes
    state: directory

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
