replace function fail inside a foreach_create_dict

[ronnyaa]

replace function fail inside a foreach_create_dict.

the error ValueError: key #2 '{'__function': 'replace', 'value': 'mode' not found in data seem to indicate it is looking for mode and not mode.value ?

I also wonder how to do multiple replacements on the same value. eg
if netbox have mode.value, and it can be tagged or access (or unset) and I need to output portmode: as trunk, or untagged, or perhaps omit the whole portmode: if unset? but that is a bit unrelated to this error message.

~/nb2an$ cat sample.yml 
test1:
  __function: foreach_create_dict
  array: interfaces
  keyname: display
  structure:
    admin: enabled
    portmode_orig: mode.value
    portmode:
      __function: replace
      value: mode.value
      search: tagged
      replacement: trunk

test2:
  test2: device_type.manufacturer.display
