STEPS TO REPRODUCE

# Just run the same play to create a host more than once
...
    - name: "Create host"
      tags: [foreman, config]
      delegate_to: localhost
      theforeman.foreman.host:
        name: "foo"
        hostgroup: "foogroup"
        location: "Default Location"
        mac: "de:ad:be:ef:de:ad"
        organization: "Default Organization"
        state: "present"

EXPECTED RESULTS

It should be idempotent ... should show that the host already exists and no changes were made, etc.
