Hello,
I’m trying to build a list from data in other lists by looping over lists and using set_fact to build a new list.
You can't use {{ }} inside {{ }} since you are already in template mode.
So use this instead
item_list: '{{ item_list + [ item ] }}'
But you can solve this a lot faster without a loop with the union filter
- name: "create list"
set_fact:
item_list: '{{ item_list | union(location_list.site) }}'
Thank you. I’ll try the update in my actual script and see how it goes.
I can’t do a join since it’s not a simple list I’m really trying to turn into a simple list. This code seemed to demonstrate the crux of my issue though and I’m hoping you provided the solution I needed.
I’m still trying to understand when quotes and brackets should be used.
