Script variables (fields) default value error (expected float for dictionary value)

Configuration

Hi, I’m trying to use a script variable with a default value, but I get errors on default value:

alias: Nouveau script
fields:
  delai_fermeture:
    name: Délai de fermeture
    selector:
      number:
        min: 1
        max: 100
        step: 1
    default: 65
sequence:
  - delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: "{{ delai_fermeture }}"
      milliseconds: 0
mode: single
description: ""

I get the following error: Erreur : expected float for dictionary value @ data[‘seconds’] fields

If I try: “{{ delai_fermeture | float }}”, I get “Erreur : UndefinedError: ‘delai_fermeture’ is undefined”

Any help will be more than welcome :slight_smile:

It’s my understanding that the selector’s default option is merely a suggestion displayed in the UI. If the user doesn’t supply a value, the variable has no value and is undefined. It explains why you got this error message:

Erreur: UndefinedError: ‘delai_fermeture’ is undefined

I suggest you do this:

sequence:
  - delay: 
      seconds: "{{ delai_fermeture | default(65) }}"

EDIT

Correction. Second suggestion removed because it’s not applicable for a script.

Thanks a lot for your answer.

Your first suggetion work fine!

I tried the second but there seem to be a syntax error with “- variables:”
When I save in the yaml editor and I come back, this part is removed.

I removed the second suggestion from my previous post because I now realize it’s not applicable for a script (!input is used in a blueprint).
