Note
This lookup plugin is part of ansible-core
and included in all Ansible
installations. In most cases, you can use the short
plugin name
indexed_items

However, we recommend you use the Fully Qualified Collection Name (FQCN) ansible.builtin.indexed_items
for easy linking to the
plugin documentation and to avoid conflicting with other collections that may have
the same lookup plugin name.
