Hiera lookup_options to match hash key in an array

[RobrVann]

Is there any way to match for a hash's key? I've tried using something akin to '^some_module::(.*)2$': but that only seems to match on the hiera key that contains the hash. For the example below, I'm looking to match 2 in the example below:

some_module::some_class::hash:
  key1:
    child_key1: something
    child_key2: something
    child_key3:
      - 1:   something
        2:   something_else
      - 1:   something
        2:   something_else

Probably not possible. What are you trying to do in the lookup_options? I would try to write the class parameters in a way that you don't need to do this. If it's not a class that you can change, you could always write a wrapper class.

What are you trying to do in the lookup_options?

Trying to convert the data type. I also tried converting the child_key3 array of hashes to just hashes to no avail.

Probably not possible.

This is what I was expecting, but thought there might be something I don't know. I'll take care of it in the class. Thanks anyway.
