Hello , i have a template file policy.tpl with below content %{ if metadata.emr_runtimerole_arn != "" } { "Sid": "EmrRuntimeroleEc2InstanceProfile", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "sts:AssumeRole", "sts:TagSession", "sts:SetSourceIdentity" ], …

thanks , i have formatted as needed. Please let me know if you need anything else.

To me, the output looks as expected - the variable has an empty value: [image] bgajjel: default = { "emr_runtimerole_arn" = [] } So it is expected that the for loop looping over it, loops zero times: [image] bgajjel: %{ for index,runtime_role in metadata.emr_ru…

Sorry i may not have been clear. Below is how variables.tf looks variable "metadata" { description = "metadata provides an entry point for users to further restrict policies" type = any default = { "emr_runtimerole_arn" = ["arn:aws:iam::account_number:role/abcd/abcd3/rolenam…

My sincere apologies @maxb , i wouldn’t be able to share terraform code due to ownership issue. But let me ask a different request. Would you be able to provide me sample code “for loop” in template(similar to policy.tpl) which works for a below variable? variable "metadata" { type = any …

[image] bgajjel: i wouldn’t be able to share terraform code due to ownership issue I don’t think it’ll be possible to help further then.

Totally understand. Would you be able to provide me sample code “for loop” in template(similar to policy.tpl) which works for a below variable? variable "metadata" { type = any default = { "runtimerole_arn" = ["arn:aws:iam::account_number:role/abcd/abcd3/rolename"] } }

@apparentlymart , any chance you can help here ?
