I think what you want, is to use the 'default' filter.
Such as:
template: src={{ item.name }}.j2 dest="/etc/config/{{
item['target_name']|default(item.name) }}"
with_items: configs
I also changed target_name to not use dot notation, as that can sometimes still
create issues with the default filter. In the above case, if item does not
have a 'target_name' key, it will default to 'item.name'.

I thought of a workaround, but also doesn't work:
- set_fact: item.target_name = item.name
when: item.target_name is not defined
with_items: configs
This way I could just always use item.target_name. It runs on the correct
items, but seems that set_fact doesn't work as I expected for an item dict, as
item.target_name is still undefined on the next task.

I have a line like this, where "configs" variable is defined as a list of
dicts/hashes:
template: src={{ item.name }}.j2 dest="/etc/config/{{
item.target_name|item.name }}"
with_items: configs
It basically allows the generated filename to be customised, but fall back to
the template name if none is provided. The problem is it doesn't work, the
generated filename is literally {{ item.target_name|item.name }}. But it works
fine without the default syntax (ie just {{ item.name }}). Is that expected
behaviour and is there any workaround?
