The j2 file is configured as follows.

Reason:
When using variables in j2 files, you don’t need {{}}, when you encounter if, for and other conditional judgment statements, for variables, you only need the variable name, strings need to add quotation marks.
Solution:
Change {% for server in groups[{{group_name}}] %} to {% for server in groups[group_name] %}
