Hi Michael,

Thanks for the response. Your example does work for me, however
looking at your example I've managed to figure out why my original
example wasn't working:

    - name: Write out SSLs to files
      copy: dest=/etc/ssl/{{item.tls.domain}}.pem owner=root
group=root mode=0600 content={{item.tls.pem}}
      with_items:
        - l7config.frontends
      when: item.tls is defined

Does not work, whereas:

    - name: Write out SSLs to files
      copy: dest=/etc/ssl/{{item.tls.domain}}.pem owner=root
group=root mode=0600 content={{item.tls.pem}}
      with_items: l7config.frontends
      when: item.tls is defined

Works fine. The with_items can't be a list itself, as Ansible doesn't
appear to 'see' inside the dictionary then, and just treats it as a
string.

Didn't know about selectattr, so that's one to remember, but now I've
got my original example working I'll stick with it as it seems more
natural to me out of the two!

Thanks

Dane
