Convert string to JSON using a for loop

[PG_Breizh]

Hello,

I need to transform a string like "Name1:Val1|Name2:Val2" to a JSON like [{'name': 'Name1', 'value': 'Val1', 'status': 'Passed'}, {'name': 'Name2', 'value': 'Val2', 'status': 'Passed'}].
When I run my code the result is [{'name': 'Name2', 'value': 'Val2', 'status': 'Passed'}, {'name': 'Name2', 'value': 'Val2', 'status': 'Passed'}].
I get {'name': 'Name1', 'value': 'Val1', 'status': 'Passed'} from the first loop execution. But it the second loop it is replaced by {'name': 'Name2', 'value': 'Val2', 'status': 'Passed'}.

My code is:

import json

group={}
tests=[]
currentdata={}

str="Name1:Val1|Name2:Val2"

print(str)
print("------------------------------")

splitstr=str.split("|")
print(splitstr)
print("------------------------------")

for dataset in splitstr:
    data=dataset.split(":")
    currentdata["name"]=data[0]
    currentdata["value"]=data[1]
    currentdata["status"]="Passed"
    tests.append(currentdata)
    
    print(data)
    print(data[0])
    print(data[1])
    print(currentdata)
    print(tests)
    print("------------------------------")

The output is:

Output:
Name1:Val1|Name2:Val2
------------------------------
['Name1:Val1', 'Name2:Val2']
------------------------------
['Name1', 'Val1']
Name1
Val1
{'name': 'Name1', 'value': 'Val1', 'status': 'Passed'}
[{'name': 'Name1', 'value': 'Val1', 'status': 'Passed'}]
------------------------------
['Name2', 'Val2']
Name2
Val2
{'name': 'Name2', 'value': 'Val2', 'status': 'Passed'}
[{'name': 'Name2', 'value': 'Val2', 'status': 'Passed'}, {'name': 'Name2', 'value': 'Val2', 'status': 'Passed'}]

------------------------------

Thanks for your help.
