Mapped KubernetesPodOperater not rendering nested templates

[bdsoha]

Apache Airflow version

2.3.3

What happened

Nested values, such as env_vars for the KubernetesPodOperater are not being rendered when used as a dynamically mapped operator.

Assuming the following:

op = KubernetesPodOperater.partial(
    env_vars=[k8s.V1EnvVar(name='AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID', value='{{ var.value.aws_access_key_id }}')],
    # Other arguments
).expand(arguments=[[1], [2]])

The Rendered Template results for env_vars should be:

("[{'name': 'AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID', 'value': 'some-super-secret-value', 'value_from': None}]")

Instead the actual Rendered Template results for env_vars are un-rendered:

("[{'name': 'AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID', 'value': '{{ var.value.aws_access_key_id }}', 'value_from': None}]")

This is probably caused by the fact that MappedOperator is not calling KubernetesPodOperater._render_nested_template_fields.

MappedOperator inherits AbstractOperator, which calls _render_nested_template_fields via render_template. So the analysis seems off.

Does this work?

KubernetesPodOperater(
    task_id=...,
    ...,
    env_vars=[k8s.V1EnvVar(name='AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID', value='{{ var.value.aws_access_key_id }}')],
)

Yes, as mentioned above the issue is only when using the operator as a mapped-operator.
