Ansible loop list in dictionary and retain the key - ansible

Question

I'm trying to create a series of firewalld rules using a variable imported from a yaml file. The yaml file creates a dictionary of service names and the associated ports are a list within each item. A segment of the yaml looks like this:
---
myservice:
description: My service desc
ports:
- 1234/tcp
- 1235/tcp
another:
description: Another service
ports:
- 2222/tcp
- 3333/tcp
The Ansible role I have so far is:
- name: Read services from file
include_vars:
file: "services.yml"
name: services
- name: Create firewalld services
command: >
firewall-cmd --permanent
--new-service={{ item.key }}
--set-description="{{ item.value.description }}"
register: addserv
failed_when: addserv.rc != 26 and addserv.rc != 0
changed_when: not "NAME_CONFLICT" in addserv.stderr
with_dict: "{{ services }}"
- name: Add ports to firewalld service
command: >
firewall-cmd --permanent
--service={{ item.key }} --add-port={{ item.value.ports }}
register: addport
changed_when: not "ALREADY_ENABLED" in addport.stderr
The first segment to create the firewalld service works fine but I'm stumped on the second part with how to loop over the list of ports while retaining the dictionary key. I've tried using subelements to extract the ports list and that works but I can't figure out how to retain the service name from the key.

Answer 1

Use subelements. For example
- debug:
msg: "{{ item.0.key }} - {{ item.0.value.description }} - {{ item.1 }}"
with_subelements:
- "{{ services|dict2items }}"
- value.ports
gives
"msg": "myservice - My service desc - 1234/tcp"
"msg": "myservice - My service desc - 1235/tcp"
"msg": "another - Another service - 2222/tcp"
"msg": "another - Another service - 3333/tcp"
