I have a list of dicst like this -

“lv”: [  
{  
“CreatedDate”: “2020-06-23T16:49:55.504+0000”,  
“Description”: “Layer 0”,  
“LayerVersionArn”: “arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1”,  
“Version”: 10  
},  
{  
“CreatedDate”: “2020-06-23T16:44:26.011+0000”,  
“Description”: “Layer 1”,  
“LayerVersionArn”: “arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1”,  
“Version”: 9  
}  
]

I want to get the list of **Version (10 and 9 above)** field from the list. Note - Number of elements in the list is not static.

Try this

&nbsp;&nbsp;- set\_fact:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;versions: "{{ lv|map(attribute='Version')|list }}"

Thanks Vladimir.

This also worked-

- set\_fact:  
versions: “{{ (lv | json\_query(‘[\*].Version’) }}”
