I needed the same thing recently, and wrote an internal module that appends one list to another, similar to set_fact.
However, after I had done so I noticed the union filter for jinja templates: http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_variables.html#set-theory-filters This means you could do probably do the following (assuming sauces is already defined somewhere as an empty list): group_vars/chocolate includes: sauces_add: -name : chocolate value: yummy sauces: "{{ sauces | union(sauces_add) }}" or you could even chain the merges: sauces: "{{ sauces | union(sauces_chocolate) | union(sauces_strawberry) }}" On Thursday, May 15, 2014 1:41:38 PM UTC+1, Martin Devlin wrote: > > Thanks everyone.
