Ok, then I get it.
EDIT: And knowing this will save me a lot of time in the future!

Yeah, it’s a pita sometimes. TBH an issue should be brought up about dictionaries in persistent_notification messages

Mm, weird. because when I checked it in the template dev tool it was a string. Like, when I tried an invalid operation on it the error was that the operation wasn’t valid on a str. So I assumed it was a string.

But I do notice since I think 2021.3 the UI yaml editor is a pain to use with Jinja :confused:
