Ansible Tower: Custom Credential Type

Question

I created a Custom Credential in Ansible Tower and need to use it in a role.

The credential name is custom_cred -> this has 2 keys custom username and custom password.

I've tried hostvars[inventory_hostname][custom_cred]['custom username'] but its not working.

To debug your Custom Credential Types you could use

- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: yes

  tasks:

  - name: Get environment
    debug:
      msg: "{{ ansible_env }}"

resulting into an output of

TASK [Get environment] *********************************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
    "msg": [
        {
            ...
            "custom_username": "username", 
            "custom_password": "********", 
            ...
        }
        ...

if such Custom Test Credentials are configured. This is working for AWX/Tower. You can then follow up with
