All, hope someone can assist here as i seem to be going in circles & not getting anywhere fast. I am trying to map ACI VRFs to their associated parent tenant. The modules I am using with some basic Jinja2 filters allow me to map tenant–\>vrf but I now need to swap the order, to map vrf–\>tenant The idea is that once I have this mapping, a requester will on;ly need to provide the VRF id & I will map it to the correct tenant. Here is what i have created so far with the output I have generated. ` ---

Vladimir, finally got some time to look at this again & I have the following questions: The fix you provided works by giving me the output, however I am having trouble getting to use it. First the output looks as follows: ` TASK [debug] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Monday 20 July 2020 16:14:05 +0100 (0:00:00.305) 0:00:01.452 \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* ok: [############] =\> msg: changed: false msg: All items completed results: - ansible\_facts: my\_dict: oob: mgmt ansible\_loop\_var: item changed: false failed: false item: mgmt/oob - ansible\_facts: my\_dict: inb: mgmt oob: mgmt ansible\_loop\_var: item changed: false failed: false item: mgmt/inb - ansible\_facts: my\_dict: ave-ctrl: infra inb: mgmt oob: mgmt ansible\_loop\_var: item changed: false failed: false item: infra/ave-ctrl - ansible\_facts: my\_dict: ave-ctrl: infra default: common inb: mgmt oob: mgmt ansible\_loop\_var: item changed: false failed: false item: common/default - ansible\_facts: my\_dict: ave-ctrl: infra default: common inb: mgmt oob: mgmt overlay-1: infra ansible\_loop\_var: item changed: false failed: false item: infra/overlay-1 - ansible\_facts: my\_dict: ave-ctrl: infra copy: common default: common inb: mgmt oob: mgmt overlay-1: infra ansible\_loop\_var: item changed: false failed: false item: common/copy - ansible\_facts: my\_dict: ave-ctrl: infra copy: common default: common inb: mgmt oob: mgmt overlay-1: infra v11-aci: tn-shared vrf\_DEFAULT: tn\_NBK101 ansible\_loop\_var: item changed: false failed: false item: tn\_NBK101/vrf\_DEFAULT - ansible\_facts: my\_dict: ave-ctrl: infra copy: common default: common inb: mgmt oob: mgmt overlay-1: infra v13-aci: tn-prod-trusted vrf\_DEFAULT: tn\_NBK101 ansible\_loop\_var: item changed: false failed: false item: tn-prod-trusted/v13-aci - ansible\_facts: my\_dict: ave-ctrl: infra copy: common default: common inb: mgmt oob: mgmt overlay-1: infra v13-aci: tn-prod-trusted vrf\_DEFAULT: tn\_NBK101 vrf\_UCSD: tn\_UCSD ansible\_loop\_var: item changed: false failed: false item: tn\_UCSD/vrf\_UCSD … ` How do I manage to read just the last my\_dict output & use that for my next task in another role?
