Description
Jinja 2 has some expressions that are built in, but not enabled by default (or in StackStorm).
https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/2.10.x/extensions/
These can be immensely useful and flexible when trying to manipulate variables from other data, especially within the context of workflows, without needing to write an action to do it for you.
I would propose that the following extensions would be useful to have enabled by default within StackStorm:
- Expression Statement
- Loop Controls

Research direction
Begin with the linked Jinja 2 extensions documentation, focusing on Expression Statement and Loop Controls, then identify where StackStorm configures Jinja for workflows. Done means both extensions are enabled by default and their use in workflows is verified.
