Variable concatenation

[b...@tanners.org]

Is there a way to concatenate variables?

base:

  - a

  - b

  - c

extend:

  - x

  - y

  - z

Something like this?

together: 

  - "{{ base }""

  - extend

The above gives me

    "msg": "together [[u'a', u'b', u'c'], u'x', u'y', u'z']"

Since you variable contains a list you can use the union filter
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/playbooks_filters.html

But this will remove duplicates or just use +.

{{ base | union(extend) }}

{{ base + extend }}
