simple problem but can't figure it out

[Dick Visser]

Hi

I am looking for a way to transform a list of strings into a list of dicts, where the string is a certain key's value - without using a loop. So from this:

my_list:

  - foo

  - bar

  - baz

to:

other_list:

  - somekey: foo

  - somekey: bar

  - somekey: baz

It looks too simple but I can't see how to do this.....

Look at the ansible filters documentation. They provide examples.

ehm, yes, I did get that...

It's as simple as:

"{{ my_list | json_query('[].{somekey:@}') }}"
