Terraform

I have tried using compact. Since a local variable has mulitple {} values, it does not work

returns this error

 local.policymerge is tuple with 49 elements

Invalid value for "list" parameter: element 0: string required.


locals {
    policymerge= flatten([
    for i in local.policylist  : [
      for j in data.azurerm_policy_definition.example : {
        name   = "${i.name == j.display_name  ? i.name : null}"
        id = "${i.name == j.display_name  ? j.id : null}"
        fname = "${i.name == j.display_name  ? i.fname : null}"
      }
    ]
  ])

   
}


output "t" {
  value = local.policymerge
}



Outputs:

  {
    "fname" = "xxx"
    "id" = "/providers/Microsoft.Authorization/policyDefinitions/95edb821-ddaf-4404-9732-xxxx"
