Consider the following:

`  
users:

- name: a  
phone\_parents:
- 123123123
- 234234234  
phone\_roommate:
- 456456456
- 567567567
- name: b  
phone\_parents:
- 789789789  
phone\_roommate:
- 890890890
- 678678678

`

With subelement, I can only define one subkey per loop:

`

- debug: msg=“Contacts: {{ item.1 }}”  
with\_subelements:
- “{{ users }}”
- phone\_parents

`

My result is as expected:

`

“msg”: “Contacts: 123123123”  
“msg”: “Contacts: 234234234”  
“msg”: “Contacts: 789789798”

`

However, I would like to have all phone numbers (phone\_parents + phone\_roommate) in a single loop like the following:

`

“msg”: “Contacts: 123123123”  
“msg”: “Contacts: 234234234”  
“msg”: “Contacts: 456456456”

“msg”: “Contacts: 567567567”  
“msg”: “Contacts: 789789789”  
“msg”: “Contacts: 890809890”

“msg”: “Contacts: 678678678”

`

How can I achieve that with Ansible?
