not_working_merge_dicts

foomap_jinja.md

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me:

{%   set es_config_per_nodetype = { 'default2': 'default2' } %}
{%   set es_config_per_default = { 'default': 'default' } %}


{% set foo = salt['defaults.merge'](es_config_per_defaults, es_config_per_nodetype) %}

invoking that via:

{%- from "myformula/foomap.jinja" import myformula with context %}

results in

local:
