A new bug found when automation is disabled

Hello everyone,
I would like to report a bug that occurs when an automation is disabled. It seems that if it has an ACTION based on a TEMPLATE then every time the raspberry pi restarts it gets activated when it should remain deactivated like all my other automations.

I discovered this bug at the end of May and all updates since have not fixed it. Rpi 4 4Go - HA OS lastest

Here is the YAML code, it is a precency simulation that randomly turns on a light from a group for a random duration.

Thank you for your comeback.

Hard to say, because you did not format your post correct, but normally

initial_state: true

means activate on HA restart.

Yeah, not a bug.

As Francis noted just remove “initial: true” from the automation and it should work.

Ok, fine, thank you for your help to noobs :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: as me
