Hi Jimmy,
I think that if you do:
- name: set the fact
set_fact:
keyobject: "{{ registerVar|from_json }}"
You should then be able to do keyobject[key]. The "complex arguments" form
works because Ansible (for reasons I am not fully understanding) will
preserve the data structure when passed this way, but not using the
all-in-one-line form with the equals signs.
Hope this helps!
