Hey all,
Timothy,
I think I tried your way but I will give it another go.
Michael,
I've tried both. I'm using debug: var/msg to figure out what {{ foo.value
}} I need to put elsewhere then I was going to remove it.
I'll just get some flags added to the script so that it returns exactly the
value I want instead of a dict after I try the above suggestions.
Thanks for the replies!
