Help for variable defination

[Rahul Kumar]

HI Ansible Gurus,

I have a specific snippet of code which i defined in default/main.yaml of a role xyz.

sw_yum_repositories:
  - name: sw
    description: Dangerous sw
    file: sw-gw
    baseurl: ""
    enabled: no
    gpgcheck: "{{gpgcheckall | default('yes')}}"
    gpgkey: "{{sw_repository_gpgkey | default(gpgkeys) | default('')}}"

Now I override this variable sw_yum_repostories in my group_vars/all.yml  in inventory configuration files.  Problem here is : i want to take default value of gpgkey attribute here from default/main.yml and other attributes i am overriding in group_vars/all.yml .  But when I try to define sw_yum_repostories without gpgkey attribute , it does not take default from default/main.yaml (it is part of source code) and whatever we define in group_vars/all.yml(overidden ones) , it takes. Since gpgkey is something i want to take from default/main.yml(because it is less subject to change) rather than overriding and rest all attribute i want to override in group_vars/all.yml, how can i achieve this ?

This could work for you. Otherwise you might want to look at setting a
different variable and merge them using set_fact and the combine jinja
filter.
