Hello,

I have got situation, where I needed to change last item in the host group for template.  
{% for host in groups[‘application\_srv’] %}

```auto
{% if groups[‘application_srv’].index(inventory_hostname) == -1 %}
          'app@{{ hostvars[host]['ansible_fqdn'] }}'
{% else %}
          'app@{{ hostvars[host]['ansible_fqdn'] }}',
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

```

```auto

```

```auto

```

```auto

But this does not working. Maybe someone can, to use host_group item and then loop thru the index as last one

```

You should explain what you are trying to do so we don't have to guess.  
So what you are trying to do is to not have a comma after the last item?

If so Jinga has many loop variables[1] you can use inside a for loop.  
The one you are looking for is loop.last.

{% if not loop.last %},{% endif %}
