Question about working with dictionaries

[Ashcora]

You made it happen :)

It works now. I had to remove the [] in the JIRA dict.

Thank you so much for your help.

In the meantime there is another use case causing some struggle :(
I want to read the components of an issues and save these components to an one-dictionary list. The problem is: the amount of components within one issue can be flexible.

I can read and display the components for an issue using a

for component in components
(…)

But I do not know how to store it as one-dictionary list?! I tried with append but this does not solve my problem. Can I get another hint from you?

From a prior post:

components = [
    { "name": "Linux" },
    { "name": "Mint" }
]

I would call this a list of dictionaries. Is this what you mean "one-dictionary list"? You should have no trouble appending dictionaries to this list.

components.append({"name": "Something else"})
#or extending the list
components.extend(({"name": 1}, {"name": "two"}))
#or concatenating lists
components = components + [{"name": 3}, {"name": "four"}]

This looks promising :) I tried with append command but then I seems to have done something wrong :( …so I was close but not that near :D I will give it another try. Thank you for your help :)
