Nested loops with multiple variables ansible - ansible

Question

So I have a variable file that looks like this:
etherchannels:
channel1:
- groupid: 1
mode: on
members:
- Ethernet1/0
- Ethernet1/2
channel2:
- groupid: 2
mode: on
members:
- Ethernet2/0
- Ethernet2/2
and I want to pass it into something like this:
tasks:
- name: configure etherchannel
cisco.ios.ios_lag_interfaces:
config:
- name: Port-channel{{ item.groupid }}
members:
- member: "{{ item.member }}"
mode: "{{ item.mode }}"
loop: "{{ etherchannels }}"
My expected outcome should be something like this:
Channel 1:
name: portchannel1
members:
- member: Ethernet1/0
mode: on
- member: Ethernet1/1
mode:on
Channel 2:
name: portchannel2
members:
- member: Ethernet2/0
mode: on
- member: Ethernet2/1
mode:on
I'm stuck trying to figure out how to loop through the members variables without having to manually add a member and mode line for every interfaces.

See community.general dictionaries. For example, the playbook
- hosts: localhost
vars:
etherchannels:
channel1:
- groupid: 1
mode: on
members:
- Ethernet1/0
- Ethernet1/2
channel2:
- groupid: 2
mode: on
members:
- Ethernet2/0
- Ethernet2/2
tasks:
- debug:
msg: |
name: {{ _name }}
members:
{{ _members|to_yaml|indent(2) }}
loop: "{{ etherchannels|dict2items }}"
loop_control:
label: "{{ item.key }}"
vars:
_name: "portchannel{{ item.value.0.groupid }}"
_members: "{{ item.value.0.members|
map('community.general.dict_kv', 'member')|
map('combine', {'mode': item.value.0.mode})|list }}"
gives (abridged)
ok: [localhost] => (item=channel1) =>
msg: |-
name: portchannel1
members:
- {member: Ethernet1/0, mode: true}
- {member: Ethernet1/2, mode: true}
ok: [localhost] => (item=channel2) =>
msg: |-
name: portchannel2
members:
- {member: Ethernet2/0, mode: true}
- {member: Ethernet2/2, mode: true}
