Adding a Fact to a dict for Cisco Interf.

[Spiro Mitsialis]

I have the following that is not working.  

  vars:
    cmdb: xkjsdflkjsjdl4d
    cisco_ios:
       interfaces:
         gigabit1/0/1:
            name: Gigabit1/0/1
            status: up
         gigabit1/0/2:
            name: Gigabit1/0/2
            status: down
  tasks:
  - name: Test in loop
    include: test_loop_fact2.yml
    loop: "{{ cisco_ios.interfaces | dict2items }}"
  - debug:
     var: cisco_ios

test_loop_fact2.yml:

- name: set fact

  set_fact:

     new_fact:

       interfaces:

                   "{{ item.key }}":

              cmdbId: "{{ cmdb }}"

- name: merge

  set_fact:

     cisco_ios: "{{ cisco_ios|combine(new_fact,recursive=True) }}"

     cacheable: true

I want to be able to insert cmdbId under cisco_ios.interfaces.gigabit1/0/1 and cisco_ios.interfaces.gigabit1/0/2 but I cannot figure out how to do this.  With the above I get:

TASK [debug] ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [127.0.0.1] => {
    "cisco_ios": {
        "interfaces": {
            "gigabit1/0/1": {
                "name": "Gigabit1/0/1",
                "status": "up"
            },
            "gigabit1/0/2": {
                "name": "Gigabit1/0/2",
                "status": "down"
            },
            "{{ item.key }}": {
                "cmdbId": "xkjsdflkjsjdl4d"
            }
        }
    }
}

I've tried removing the "{{ }}" and tried [ ] but get errors.  How do I reference it.
I want to end up with

cisco_ios:

    interfaces:

       gigabit1/0/1:

          name: Gigabit1/0/1

          status: up

          cmdbId: xxxxxx

       gigabit1/0/2:

           name: Gigabit1/0/2

           status: down

           cmdbId: xxxxxx

Is this probably what are you looking for?

- set_fact:
interfaces: "{{ interfaces|default({})|
combine({item.key: item.value|
combine({'cmdbId': cmdb})}) }}"
loop: "{{ cisco_ios.interfaces|dict2items }}"
- set_fact:
cisco_ios: "{{ cisco_ios.interfaces|combine(interfaces) }}"

Cheers,

Errata:

- set_fact:
cisco_ios: "{{ cisco_ios|combine({'interfaces': interfaces}) }}"
