pluck

The pluck function makes it possible to give one key and multiple maps, and get a list of all of the matches:

pluck "name1" $myDict $myOtherDict

The above will return a list containing every found value ([value1 otherValue1]).

If the give key is not found in a map, that map will not have an item in the list (and the length of the returned list will be less than the number of dicts in the call to pluck.

If the key is found but the value is an empty value, that value will be inserted.

A common idiom in Sprig templates is to uses pluck... | first to get the first matching key out of a collection of dictionaries.
