To my knowledge Ansible have never had with\_list.

So it's probably something someone have made, so you would need to hunt it down and install it if you would like to use it.

Hmm,

This is the thing I’m taking about: [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/plugins/lookup/list.py](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/plugins/lookup/list.py)

Looking at the history I can see that it was added by bcoca about 2 years ago. It doesn’t look like it changed much over the years (the code is trivial). So, I suspect that despite lack of documentation it is supported after all.

kind regards
