Bug Summary

community.vmware inventory plugin is about to be deprecated in favor of vmware.vmware inventory plugin (plugin is available starting in v1.9.0).

I installed vmware.vmware v1.9.0 on my awx-ee and add "plugin: vmware.vmware.vms" at the top of the source variables, but AWX defaults to 'community.vmware.vmware_vm_inventory'.

The source is of type "VMware vCenter".

When running ansible-inventory -i hosts.vmware-vms.yml --list inside my awx-ee it is working as expected.
hosts.vmware-vms.yml has the same content as the AWX inventory source.

AWX version
