Generating string based on inventory variable

Hi,
Why not use a “map” of choice that you need instead use a double when with double variable?

Something like

criptography_map:
  A: 32
  B: 32
  C: 32
  D: 16
  E: 16

And then in task

- name: Encoded random password 
  ansible.builtin.set_fact:
    password: "{{ lookup('community.general.random_string', base64=true, length=criptography_map[chosen_encryption] ) }}"
  no_log: true

This will be much simple, will not use 2 tasks and avoid usage of 2 different variables.
