How do I configure "customize.yaml"?

Configuration
1

If i go to Customizations and select an entity I get this message:

It seems that your configuration.yaml doesn’t properly include customize.yaml.
Changes made here are written in it, but will not be applied after a configuration reload unless the include is in place.

and this one (because it is set like it stays)

The following attributes are already set in customize.yaml

But the name is not used

When I add a friendly_name it looks like it is working, but just until reboot.
It also looks like when I set friendly_name is it actually the name attribute that is changed.

And when I try to add it:

This worked, can’t se any reason for customize to be so “special” comparing to the other !include’s

My configuration.yaml says:

homeassistant: !include customize.yaml

and customize.yaml looks like this:

customize:
  sensor.andreas:
    entity_picture: /local/andreas.jpg

and so on…

Not sure if that is the best solution but it almost works.
If I add something in the UI it does not get indented correctly in the file, but I usually just use the yaml anyways…

Hello… You have to add homeassistant prior the customize include… like this:

homeassistant:
  customize: !include customize.yaml

Have done exactly that, but I get this error message when I check config.

Configuration invalid
CHECK CONFIGURATION
Error loading /config/configuration.yaml: in “/config/configuration.yaml”, line 2, column 14: Unable to read file /config/customize.yaml.

So what’s your /config/configuration.yaml and customize.yaml files looks like ? You have an error at the beginning of the configuration file: line 2…
