Anchor, yaml and jinja

Hi all.

I’m building an irrigation management dashboard
I have to manage multiple irrigation zones and each zone has, in fact, the same schema in the frontend and therefore, in fact, I have the same YAML duplicated several times where only the entities change.

For example, this is a one irrigation zone, i need to replicate this for X zones.

Now, YAML doesn’t have a parameterization, I can’t create a YAML template to pass the entities to use.
I tried with lovelace_gen, but besides looking a bit abandoned, it has limitations with jinja so I abandoned it.
I’m trying with anchors, which, although they don’t allow me to reduce the code -but I still have to duplicate the files- allow me to have a whole part of the configuration at the top of the YAML file.
This above all because, with a view to releasing the code also for other people who want it, personal configuration remains easier in this way.

However, even these seem to have problems with jinja.

For example.
I have this anchors at the top of the yaml file

homeassistant:
  entity_list:
    e2: &activator "switch.irrigazione_orto"
    e2a: &groupZone "group.zone1_onoff"
    e2b: &manualDuration "input_number.zone1_manual_duration"
    e3: &groupZoneWeek "group.zone1_weeday"
    e4: &zoneMon "input_boolean.zone1_monday"
    e5: &zoneTue "input_boolean.zone1_tuesday"
    e6: &zoneWed "input_boolean.zone1_wednesday"
    e7: &zoneThu "input_boolean.zone1_thursday"
    e8: &zoneFri "input_boolean.zone1_friday"
    e9: &zoneSat "input_boolean.zone1_saturday"
    e10: &zoneSun "input_boolean.zone1_sunday"
    fascia1: &fascia1 "irrigation_zone1_slot1.yaml"
    fascia2: &fascia2 "irrigation_zone1_slot2.yaml"
    fascia3: &fascia3 "irrigation_zone1_slot3.yaml"
    fascia4: &fascia4 "irrigation_zone1_slot4.yaml"
    includeFile1: !include &includeFile1 irrigation_zone1_slot1.yaml
    includeFile2: !include &includeFile2 irrigation_zone1_slot2.yaml
    includeFile3: !include &includeFile3 irrigation_zone1_slot3.yaml
    includeFile4: !include &includeFile4 irrigation_zone1_slot4.yaml

Working fine if I use anchor in entity, name or others

        type: custom:button-card
        entity: *groupZone
        template: irrigation_zone
        name: *zone
        icon: mdi:checkbox-blank-outline

But, if I use in the code below, they rightly don’t work.

            type: custom:mushroom-template-card
            icon: |
              {% if is_state ('*activator', 'on') %}
                mdi:stop-circle-outline
              {% else %}
                mdi:play-circle-outline
              {% endif %}
            entity: *activator 
            icon_color: |
              {% if is_state ('*activator', 'on') %}
              #cb3235  
              {% elif is_state ('*activator ', 'off') %}
              #50c878
              {% else %}
              grey
              {% endif %}

I tried different solution but without success.
The same problem is also on this:

type: custom:button-card
template: settings
styles:
  card:
    - background-color: |
        [[[
          if (states['*activator'].state == 'off') return 'transparent';
          else return 'rgb(80, 200, 120, 0.2)';
        ]]]

Is there a solution or an alternative?
