Well I'm going to answer my own question because I found a work-around to
this issue. While I wish there was an easier and less stupid way it works
for me so I can keep on track with my project. Here is the snippet of code
that works just in case someone else might have this same issue.
- key: u_network_zone | replace('-', '_')
separator: ""
- key: os_version.split('.')[0] | replace('7', 'RHEL7') |
replace('8', 'RHEL8')
separator: ""
I did find we do capture the os_version so I used that instead and just
replaced the single digits with the string I wanted. To me it's a hack but
it's a working hack for me.
Enjoy!
