Can't Set LIFX Bulb color states in LIFX:set_state. No place to enter. Why?

Hey all,
Switching from Homeseer to HA and have a LIFX question.

I have multiple LIFX bulbs that I want to turn on to a preset color. As I found out, just using the TURN ON function in an automation to change a bulb from, say, red to green is sub-optimal because it turns on in red and THEN goes green.

So I looked online and thought this would be solve with the Call Action and then LIFX:set_state function. However, even though documented in the official docs, there is no “…” in the window that allows me to set states such as color, nor can I find anything close.

What am I missing??

I’m assuming you are using the UI automation editor. It does not support all the options in the UI and you will have to switch to the YAML view for that action. e.g.

Additional data options are listed here: Light - Home Assistant

As per this instruction:

Thanks for the reply! Yes. I’m using the UI. I’ll approach it by adding in some YAML code now that I know it is not possible in the UI.
