Amend dropdown list helpers to add or remove values

Configuration

Hi,

wonder if anyone can help, I have a couple of dropdown list helpers and I’d like to change the options. Can this be done?

Thanks!

yes, click the cog on the entity, and the list of options will be there to add/remove.

Hi Pedro,

I thought that may be the answer… unfortunately in my case, the following happens:

Could it be that you created those dropdown list helpers as input_select in yaml, like for instance in configuration.yaml?
In that case you can’t modify them from the UI but have to edit them in yaml as well.

Thanks, no, these were created in the helpers, via devices and services only.

only way I found to edit the lists are using file editor and the file
/config/.storage/input_select

edit, save and reboot

Sorry for reviving this old post, but I have the same issue, and I suspect this is a bug.

Created a Dropdown from the UI, the Cog window is completely empty.

Editing /config/.storage/input_select can lead to strange behaviour, like the dropdown getting renamed with a “_2” suffix.

I had this issue as well. I noticed it does work in browser but not in the app. So that is my workaround for now.

If you are having this issue in chrome browser, press F12 to get the developer menu up, right click the refresh button and choose “Empty cache & hard reload”. That fixed it for me.
