David, I am not a native English speaker and do not have a lot of experience of HA in part of MQTT & Tasmota. A code and a small picture would be more clear for me to help you.
What I could imagine:
There is a multiple-entity-row.
The primary item (the first one) is some entity (āprimary entityā).
Other items (āsecondary itemsā) are either another entities or attributes of some entity.
Every item (primary & secondary) has a ātap_actionā which is āmore-infoā.
What you may want is:
Disable the āmore-infoā for some item (ātap_action: action: noneā).
Show āmore-infoā for another entity. To understand how to do this (or say ānot possibleā) I need a code for this card (+ explanations like āI need more-info for THAT entity instead of THAT entityā). Using a similar code I may simulate your case on my setup.

No, you canāt specify the state text on an entity row on a core entity row (outside the text row but I donāt think you want that), but you look to be using a custom row so perhaps ask that developer. The other option is to use browser_mod to specify that popup for this row.

I still do not understand the whole task.
Thanks Ian. Iāll take a look at that. Iām not using a custom-row BTW - just a standard entities card with your template card to modify the name. I am only having this problem now because I switched to using the Tasmota Integration as MQTT Discovery for HA seems to be deprecated now in Tasmotaā¦
Donāt worry about it. Thanks for trying to help anyway. Itās probably a language barrier as itās reasonably clear what I am trying to do and posting my entity config will only confuse you further.
OK!
So thanks to @iantrich for the idea, I ended up using custom:multiple-entity-row which lets me do pretty much what I wanted while also restoring the state card info for my Tasmota devices before I āupgradedā to the Tasmota integration.
Here is what the old card looked like and also the code and what I saw when I clicked on the rowā¦

Regarding multiple-entity-row - you may use kind of āstyles: width: 150pxā to prevent these misalignment:
Regarding using spaces:
'Coffee' + '\xa0'.repeat(16)
This will look nice only in case of using a font with fixed width; for proportional fonts it will cause a misalignment:"secondary-info" like it is described here (and even colourize it by card-mod like it is described here ):

Actually, I thought that you were already using this card - your first pic looks like multiple-entity-rowā¦
No itās just an entities card.
Yes one of the issues I had is exactly that but I canāt make them form up in columns so open to suggestions for that.
Where would I put that? I see that issue so a solution would be welcomeā¦ can you supply an edit of one of my rows to demonstrate that?
I dont see any issue with the new variablesā¦ never used the old ones anyway and it doesnt seem to reduce the number required or make it readable anyway. Iām donāt see a point in switching to a decluttering card for thisā¦

Sorry to jump in, just to comment one thing.
Without the decluttering card youāre replicating the same āline codeā for each ādeviceā, thatās the redundancy.
If you use the decluttering card, youāll create a template for the ālineā and then youāll use a variable to pass the device name, which will be applied to the whole line.
So, youāll have a big decluttering-card ātemplateā and a small āviewā for each entry.@Ildar_Gabdullin code youƬll see that the " decl_XXXXXXXXXXXXXX:" your normal card (with all static config which would remain the same across devices) and then the entities card in the view will only call that newrly created template and pass the sensors name you need for that.
I would highly suggest to give it a try, I started to use it and I have to say it makes things way clearer.

I will take a look at that. I remember thinking about it.
For displaying these āExcellentā etc words you may use 3 options:
Create a template sensor (not a good thing if you are going to use these words in one place only) and display it in a separate column.
Display these words in the "secondary-info" part (as I described above).
Use this method to create something like this:display ANYTHING instead of some state ."config-template-card" - but this does not need it since the templating is implemented by card-mod:
type: entities

- type: 'custom:multiple-entity-row'

line-height: var(--mdc-typography-body1-line-height, 1.5rem);
}

line-height: 0px;

Switching to decluttering is not related with āhow to declare & use variablesā - it is just about:
Reduce number of lines.
In case of need to change something - change it in the decluttering template only (the basis of using āfunctionā, āprocedureā etc in Programming).

Ok guys Iām officially annoyed of not making it work!! So, i Have a card like the one in the picture at the end. I would like to change the āActivityā with the name of the work out that comes from stravaā¦ How can this be done?
title: Strava
icon: mdi:heart-pulse
cards:
- type: "custom:config-template-card"
title: "${states('sensor.strava_0_0')}"
entities:
- type: attribute
entity: sensor.strava_0_0
attribute: friendly_name
name: Date
icon: mdi:calendar-clock
- entity: sensor.strava_0_1
name: Duration
ā${states[āsensor.strava_0_0ā].state}ā`

I have tried that as well but the problem as i said is that i get the āNo card or row or element definedā errorā¦
When looking at this:
title: Strava
icon: mdi:heart-pulse
cards:
I do not see any "type: " definition here.

But should i define the ācustom:config-template-cardā there? The other yaml files i have iāve never set the type thereā¦ Also, I tried to put define the type there but no luck
The whole code is wrong."config-template-card" then it must be kind of this:
type: 'custom:config-template-card'
entities:
- ..........
card:
type: entities
title: .....
entities:
- ....

icon: mdi:heart-pulse
type: "custom:config-template-card"
entities:
- entity: sensor.strava_0_1
card:
- type: entities
title: "${states['sensor.strava_0_0'].state}"
entities:
- type: attribute
entity: sensor.strava_0_0

Yeah I saw it after i posted it and i was trying to fix it. Finally it worksā¦ Thanks a lot!!
@DavidFW1960 , sorry for direct mentioning, you wanted to use "config-template-card" for:
Displaying the āExcellent, Fairā etc words - may be done by "secondary_info" or "card-mod" (see examples above).
Changing an icon dependingly on state:
may by done by specifying an icon ("icon_template") in config (if possible);
may be done by using "Custom UI" (never used by myself so far, I am still learning, but I know that it may be used for this);
also check about a ready "device_class" for this ("signal_strength" may be? Update: seems NO ).
Means - you may not use "config-template-card" at all.
