I fix this error by putting hyphens in the variables.

Pretty cool - it´s working! 
So, it is all in understanding YAML.
Hello guys!
When I do modifications to the dashboard I always have to restart home assistant to get it to show. Is this correct? Is there a faster way to do it?
Developer Tools → YAML → 
After that, you have to refresh your Dashobord - three dots in the right top corner…
I’ve done that a million times but nothing ever happens. I run in docker if that could have anything to do with it?
After that you have to refresh the dashboard
Wow… I’ve looked for that longer than I dare say. Thanks a lot, this will make developing so much quicker!

How do I show value from entity’s attribute instead of entity itself?
Code below used to work in version 1.3.6 but not anymore after updating to 1.3.7 or 1.3.8.
- type: 'custom:button-card'
template: card_generic
entity: sensor.nordpool_price_level
variables:
ulm_card_generic_name: Electricity Price
ulm_translation_state_unit: '[[[ return entity.attributes.price_level_description ]]]'
Entity nordpool_price_level contains numeric value to be used in automations and price_level_description contains more descriptive value (low, moderate, high).
Just use ulm_translation_state instead
Thanks, this worked. Not sure where I got that ulm_translation_state_unit but it used to work until last update.
Hi everyone,
Context: I’ve been a HA user for over a year, build dashboards utilizing lovelace-mushroom. However, I now find myself needing more than just what mushroom can offer. My preference is to build my main dashboard using the UI, occasionally tweaking some cards in YAML mode. I aim to avoid getting lost in extensive YAML files, as changing layouts/orders seems faster and easier this way.
Ideally, I’d like to combine the best of both worlds: using the UI-controlled dashboard while integrating custom components from Minimalist, such as card_room or custom_card_haven_washer.
So, my question is: Is it possible to add a “manual” card to a UI-controlled dashboard and configure a Minimalist card there? When I attempted this, I encountered errors:
Button-card template ‘XXX’ is missing!
In (preconfigured) minimalist YAML dashboard the same config is working 
Is it even possible…?
What can I do to achieve this?
Thank you community

Today I am using the Scenes card (card_scenes_welcome) for controlling scenes, thus I feel that I would like to have a bit more control of the layout and that the font size is a bit small (first row on the image above).
So I played around using Vertical Button Card for the same purpose (second row on the image above) and I noticed that I can just add my scripts (that activates my scene) to the entity and it works.
- type: 'custom:button-card' template: card_vertical_button entity: script.l2_apply_scene_movie name: Movie icon: mdi:movie-open show_last_changed: false variables: ulm_card_vertical_button_state: On ulm_card_vertical_button_color: red
What I have not managed to do is to give a bit of color to the vertical buttons, as you can see in the snippet above I made some tries using the ulm_card_vertical_button_state and ulm_card_vertical_button_color as variables but it does not seem to work.
Anyone have any idea or suggestion how to have colors on the vertical buttons?
I have the same problem.
All working in a non-minimalist dashboard, but no idea how to get sidebar-card working with minimalist 
I’m struggling to understand why my UI looks terrible. On the welcome screen, the colors are not displaying correctly and the padding is misaligned. Can someone suggest a fix?
Did you apply the any of the minimalist theme, in the IOS app you do that tapping your user name in the side menu to access Profile settings, find theme setting there.
Thanks @nikno applying the theme change the look.

Might be a dumb question, but is it possible to use Minimalist UI cards without installing the whole integration? I’m currently using Mushroom cards, but it’s quite limited and I like the look of the Person card.
Thanks
