Inline configuration generation

[RomRider]

I'm not sure this is supposed to work (at least it seems it doesn't for me but the template renders properly and returns a list object in the dev tools), but it could be useful :-)

This is as a feature of a tile card (create a button for each child entity in a group for 'more-info' using this custom card):

- type: custom:uix-forge
  forge:
    mold: card-feature
    hidden: "{{ state_attr(config.entity, 'entity_id') is not none }}"
  element:
    type: custom:service-call
    entries: |
      {%- set cg = expand("cover.all_covers") | map(attribute="entity_id") | list %}
      {%- set cover = namespace(return=[]) %}
      {%- for c in cg %}
        {%- set obj = {
          "type": "button",
          "entity_id": c,
          "label": "<<< value | replace('Cover ', '') | replace(' (Advanced)', '') >>>",
          "value_attribute": "friendly_name",
          "tap_action": {
            "action": "more-info",
            "target": { "entity_id": c }
          }
        }
        %}
        {%- set cover.return = cover.return + [obj] %}
      {%- endfor %}
      {{ cover.return | list }}

Debugging the template results in what I'd expect:

Actually... it was my fault, it works. The label was not rendering properly making the inline card fail. I had to replace it with a server side template instead of an child card nested template. The embedded chevrons were behaving weirdly 🤷‍♂️

Final config:

type: custom:uix-forge
forge:
  mold: card-feature
  hidden: "{{ state_attr(config.entity, 'entity_id') | default(none) is none }}"
element:
  type: custom:service-call
  entries: |
    {%- set cg = expand(config.entity) | map(attribute="entity_id") | list %}
    {%- set cover = namespace(return=[]) %}
    {%- for c in cg %}
      {%- set obj = {
        "type": "button",
        "entity_id": c,
        "label": state_attr(c, 'friendly_name') | replace('Cover ', '') | replace(' (Advanced)', ''),
        "value_attribute": "friendly_name",
        "tap_action": {
          "action": "more-info",
          "target": { "entity_id": c }
        }
      }
      %}
      {%- set cover.return = cover.return + [obj] %}
    {%- endfor %}
    {{ cover.return | reverse | list }}

Result (this part is the last feature of the card):
