JSON_QUERY Not Working when JSON key contains Colon - ansible

Question

My JSON File
{
"msg": {
"changed": false,
"failed": false,
"ontap_info": {
"ontap_version": "160",
"volume_info": {
"testvol1:test1": {
"encrypt": "false",
"encryption_state": "none",
"encryption_type": "none",
"key_id": null,
"volume_antivirus_attributes": {
"on_access_policy": "default"
},
},
"testvol2:test2": {
"encrypt": "false",
"encryption_state": "none",
"encryption_type": "none",
"key_id": null,
"volume_antivirus_attributes": {
"on_access_policy": "default"
},
},
},
},
},
}
My Task
- name: Volume Aggr Info
raw: |
VOLUME_NAME="{{ ontap_volume_info | json_query( info ) | json_query( "'item'" ) | json_query( volumename ) }}"
delegate_to: localhost
loop: "{{ ontap_volume_info.ontap_info.volume_info.keys() | list }}"
I have to loop through the key which contains the colon, for example "testvol2:test2".
I tried multiple solutions and nothing is working. When I try to display the VOLUME_NAME variable, it is displaying an empty string.

Q: "Loop through the key which contains the colon, for example, "testvol2:test2"
A: Each of the keys must be unique. YAML places no further restrictions on the nodes.
Given a valid JSON in the variable my_data. The task below does the job
- debug:
msg: "{{ my_data.ontap_info.volume_info[item] }}"
loop: "{{ my_data.ontap_info.volume_info.keys()|list }}"
should give
ok: [localhost] => (item=testvol1:test1) => {
"msg": {
"encrypt": "false",
"encryption_state": "none",
"encryption_type": "none",
"key_id": null,
"volume_antivirus_attributes": {
"on_access_policy": "default"
}
}
}
ok: [localhost] => (item=testvol2:test2) => {
"msg": {
"encrypt": "false",
"encryption_state": "none",
"encryption_type": "none",
"key_id": null,
"volume_antivirus_attributes": {
"on_access_policy": "default"
}
}
}
