The lookup *vars* is not necessary. Reference the variable
listb:
- "{{ lista }}"
- {one: str1, two: str2}
You should get
listb:
- - one: str1
two: str2
- one: str1
two: str2
This is correct. The first item on the list *listb* is list *lista*.
If you put two items into the list *lista*
lista:
- one: str1
two: str2
- ccc: str3
ddd: str4
you'll get
listb:
- - one: str1
two: str2
- ccc: str3
ddd: str4
- one: str1
two: str2
You can *flatten* the list
listc: "{{ listb|flatten }}"
gives
listc:
- one: str1
two: str2
- ccc: str3
ddd: str4
- one: str1
two: str2
However, a simpler option is adding lists. For example, given two
lists
lista:
- {one: str1, two: str2}
- {ccc: str3, ddd: str4}
listb:
- {one: str1, two: str2}
Declare the list *listc*. This will merge the two lists
listc: "{{ lista + listb }}"
