Raising an event: using a template for "event"

Configuration
1

Seems that this is not possible?

      - event: >-
          {{ EVENT }}
        event_data:
          ...

i.e. I need to use

      - event: some_hardcoded_event
        event_data:
          ...

?

OK, made it with just

      - event: !input ....
        event_data:
          ...

The idea behind an event is that you make your event static and you add different data to key off of in your event_data.

e.g.

event: my_custom_event
data:
  event_type: "{{ EVENT }}"

I see, I just wanted to make it templatable in a blueprint.
And it turned be easier by just using “!input”.
I wanted to compose “event_type” in a blueprint; now I just pass it as a composed string.

Yes, from a blueprint, use a text selector with !input pointing to the selector
