set default when using an undefined variable in "with_sequence"

[David Neudorfer]

What is the proper way to set a default for helios_web1b.count?

Currently this task:

- name: create identifier sequence for tagging web1b
  no_log: true
  debug: msg="{{ item }}"
  with_sequence:
    start=0
    count="{{ helios_web1b.count }}"
    format=%02d
  register: sequence

results in:

TASK: [helios_aws_multi | create identifier sequence for tagging web1b] *******
fatal: [localhost] => unknown error parsing with_sequence arguments: u'start=0 count="{{ helios_web1b.count }}" format=%02d'


FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting

I tried:

- name: create identifier sequence for tagging web1b
  no_log: true
  debug: msg="{{ item }}"
  with_sequence:
    start=0
    count="{{ helios_web1b.count | default ('2') }}"
    format=%02d
  register: sequence

Nothing has worked so far. Any ideas would be awesome. Thank you.

{{ (helios_web1b|default(2)).count | default ('2') }}"
