Trying to set a input_text value using value_template with a sensor value

Configuration
1

I’m getting the follow message from the log:

Invalid service data for input_text.set_value: extra keys not allowed @ data[‘value_template’]. Got “{{states(‘sensor.battery_frontdoor’) | string }}\n” required key not provided @ data[‘value’]. Got None

Any idea on what I’m doing wrong, or another way to set the input_text within an automation?

  action:
    - service: input_text.set_value
      data:
        entity_id: input_text.fd_battery
        value_template: >         
          {{states('sensor.battery_frontdoor') | string }}

Got it:

  action:
    - service: input_text.set_value
      data_template:
        entity_id: input_text.fd_battery
        value: "{{states('sensor.battery_frontdoor') | string }}"

Must be a bug in the forum software for iOS devices. It worked for desktop chrome.

Interesting. I know when you’re not the one that started the topic you won’t see those options. Maybe when you’re logged into the forum from your iOS device you’re using a different login, or it thinks it is a different user for some reason??? Anyway, thanks!
