As {% if %} action in an automation: is entity_id part of group of entity_ids

I need to use a version of the following code as the start of my action sequence. Is there a correct way to format this. See triggers (later) for reference.

Again my goal is to be able to ask if a certan entity_id is one of a named group of them, referenced by trigger.entity_id (refer to my value template)

action:
    - service: input_text.set_value
      data_template:
        entity_id: "input_text.{{trigger.entity_id.split('.')[1].split('_')[0]}}_motion_state"
        value: >
          {% if trigger.entity_id in ['sensor.david_distance_to_home', 'sensor.renata_distance_to_home', 'sensor.cynthia_distance_to_home'] %}

- alias: Set distance input when state change
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id:
        - sensor.david_distance_to_home
        - sensor.renata_distance_to_home
        - sensor.cynthia_distance_to_home
    - platform: numeric_state
      entity_id: sensor.david_dist_update
      above: 5
      for: 
        seconds: 30
    - platform: numeric_state
      entity_id: sensor.renata_dist_update
      above: 5
      for:
        seconds: 30
    - platform: numeric_state
      entity_id: sensor.cynthia_dist_update
      above: 5
      for: 
        seconds: 30

action:
    - service: input_text.set_value
      data_template:
        entity_id: "input_text.{{trigger.entity_id.split('.')[1].split('_')[0]}}_motion_state"
        value: >
          {{ trigger.entity_id in ['sensor.david_distance_to_home', 'sensor.renata_distance_to_home', 'sensor.cynthia_distance_to_home'] }}

Unless I am missing something, that is about the same as I had with the exception that this iss a {{ }} instead of the {% if… %}

here is the whole code for context.
