Set friendly_name from template? Rest sensor

Configuration
1

Hello, is there any way to set a friendly_name from a template value?
i.e. somewhat like this:


rest:
  - resource: http://localurl
    scan_interval: 30
    sensor:
      - name: rest_sensor
        unique_id: rest_sensor
        value_template: "{{ (value.translate({39:34})|from_json)[0][8] }}"
        friendly_name: "Rest Sensor: {{ (value.translate({39:34})|from_json)[0][2] }}"
2

Yes but it is “name” not “friendly_name”.

rest:
  - resource: http://localurl
    scan_interval: 30
    sensor:
      - name: "Rest Sensor: {{ (value.translate({39:34})|from_json)[0][2] }}"
        unique_id: rest_sensor
        value_template: "{{ (value.translate({39:34})|from_json)[0][8] }}"

Cant get it to work, when i try to use the from_json value it defaults to “sensor.rest_sensor_xx”, both name and ID, even though i have set a unique_id. What am i doing wrong?
