How to create a variable name in ansible which will contain one more variable?

Question

Jinja

There is a variable "{{ some_staff1 }}".
I want to make a loop that will write:

var: "{{ some_staff1 }}"

The whole problem is to make it so that the index at the end of the variable is also a variable:

var: "{{ some_staff{{ item.index }} } }"
with_items:
- { index: 1}
- { index: 2}

What I described above is not a working construct
. But I hope the essence of what I want to achieve is clear.
It is necessary that there is one more variable inside the variable name. Perhaps it will be possible to solve the issue using jinja2.

Answer 1

To be honest, I didn’t really understand, but it seems that something like that is needed?

- set_fact:
    var_{{ item.index }}: "{{ item.value }}"
  loop:
    - index: x1
      value: 'aaa'
    - index: x2
      value: 'bbb'
- debug: var=var_x1
- debug: var=var_x2
