History / Sharing a Template

Revisions

  • Document describing variables, repeating a template, transforms and where used Five things landed in the card that the wiki did not cover: - a template can describe its variables, so cards using it get real controls - a card can render its template once per item with for_each - a placeholder can ask for its value in a different shape with |slug and friends - the template editor can turn a card you already have into a template - the template editor lists everywhere a template is used Two new pages, Describing Variables and Repeating a Template, since both are whole topics rather than paragraphs. Transforms went into Variables next to the other placeholder forms, and the two editor actions into Visual Editors beside the tabs they belong to. Configuration Reference, Troubleshooting, Home and the sidebar follow.

  • Document the Share tab, and correct the requirements Adds a Sharing a Template page covering export and import, which had no coverage at all, with a screenshot from the dev HA. Linked from the sidebar, the Home index, Visual Editors and the between-dashboards page. Installation said any version from 2024.2 was fine and showed a 2026.2.0 console banner; hacs.json declares 2024.7.0 and the card reports 1.0.0.
