Blueprint editor in the UI

[simonparkis]

I often create automations using yaml, however via the user interface and selecting edit in yaml. This allows me to edit automations in my browser or on my phone without a third party editor. I have duplicate automations currently with different entity ids etc. I would love to put them all in a user created blueprint and edit in one place but it just doesn’t work with my preference to be able to edit anywhere via browser or phone. Please add this feature.

Duplicate of this one right?

WTH can't we create or edit blueprints with the UI

Blueprints are a great, but lack a UI editor. I usually create automatons with the UI so for blueprints I end up designing and testing it in the automation editor then copy and paste the results into the yaml file. The problem arises again if bugs are discovered and I need to edit the blueprint.

I think if more people knew about Blueprints, they’d probably use them.

I can’t imagine how many duplicate Automations people use today only because it says “Import Blueprints” rather than “+ Add Blueprint”. And there’s no way to edit the ones you download either.
