Getting error message "Received tags are not valid: workflow_job_template_nodes." when using infra.controller_configuration.filetree_create

[demonpig]

Summary

When running the infra.controller_configuration.filetree_create role, I am getting the following error message.

TASK [infra.controller_configuration.filetree_create : Check if the required input values are correct] ***************************************************************************************************************

The valid tags are the following ones: all, settings, credentials, credential_types, execution_environments, groups, hosts, inventory, inventory_sources, job_templates, notification_templates, organizations, projects, roles, teams, users, workflow_job_templates, instance_groups, applications, labels, schedules. The list of the received tags is: ['labels', 'inventory', 'credentials', 'credential_types', 'notification_templates', 'organizations', 'projects', 'job_templates', 'workflow_job_templates', 'workflow_job_template_nodes', 'schedules', 'execution_environments']", "tag_item": "workflow_job_template_nodes"}
ok: [localhost] => (item=schedules)
ok: [localhost] => (item=execution_environments)

The documentation lists that workflow_job_template_nodes is a valid option but the verification that the role performs for valid input tags is failing.
