Hi all,  
I have a list of dictionaries where I need to update a value sequentially from another list.  
1st dictionary:  
Xyz:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;1:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Name: abc  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;State:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;2:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Name: cdf  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;State:

Now I have a list as below:  
- ghi  
- uvw  
How can I place the first value in list that is ghi to the dictionary..also ghi should go to first key state value and uvw should go to 2nd key state value.

I need this to be working as dynamically and not static as mentioned.  
I tried with\_indexed\_items but none worked.  
Please help me in resolving this issue.
