Hi John Buxton,
thanks for your reply.
Indeed that worked.

But would it be possible to do this also with multiple entries in path of
level1keyA? Like:
---
- name: combine lists
hosts: localhost
vars:
- level1keyA:
- hostname: foo
state: present
path:
- left
- hostname: bar
state: present
path:
- righthere
- peter
- paul
- mary
- "{{ WHAT NOW HERE? |union (level1keyB) }}"
- level1keyB:
- right
- middle
- top
tasks:
- name: result of level1keyA
debug:
msg: "{{ level1keyA }}"
- name: result of level1keyB
debug:
msg: "{{ level1keyB }}"
Listing all peter, paul, mary etc in front of the union wouldn't be very
convenient either.
Thank you
Jard
