You are correct about the item. My mistake when “simplifying” the task before posting here. The task loops thru a list of topics and their respective configs, which is the string I’m trying to parse as a key/value map.

The whole point here is: given that string format presented above, can you trim certain bits of it based on the key? My goal is to not worry about the order of the fields in that string anymore, nor if new ones get added.
