Using markdown that can be re-used in different dashboards

[labanex (Antonio Edward)]

Hello all. I am trying to create a markdown reusable field that if edited, it will display the same information on other dashboards.
For instance:

I have to copy this card from one dashboard to be displayed in three different dashboards to be shown on three different tablets. So if I make a change to the buttons on one dashboard, I have to copy this markdown card and place it in all of the dashboards. Much like how input_text works, where it shows the changes made no matter where the input_text is placed. I would like a way to edit on markdown with an ID and place it is different places and it will display the same everywhere else.

I tried the following, but it is not working. In the configuration.yaml file, I have the following:

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      shared_text_sensor:
        value_template: "{{ states('input_text.dispay_living_room_cube') }}"
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      shared_text_sensor:
        value_template: "{{ states('input_text.dispay_office_cube') }}"
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      shared_text_sensor:
        value_template: "{{ states('input_text.dispay_bedroom_buttons') }}"
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      shared_text_sensor:
        value_template: "{{ states('input_text.dispay_master_bathroom_buttons') }}"
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      shared_text_sensor:
        value_template: "{{ states('input_text.dispay_guest_bathroom_buttons') }}"
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      shared_text_sensor:
        value_template: "{{ states('input_text.dispay_office_buttons') }}"
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      shared_text_sensor:
        value_template: "{{ states('input_text.dispay_office_guest_buttons') }}"
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      shared_text_sensor:
        value_template: "{{ states('input_text.dispay_random_text') }}"

In the markdown card, I have the following.

- type: markdown
    content: '{{ states(''input_text.dispay_living_room_cube'') }}'

I like input_text, where every once in a while, I will put a quote, and it is displayed at the top of each dashboard. I usually put up a cool quote. But I have six Sonoff buttons all over the house. I just want to be able to do what I did in the screenshot above, have it posted in several dashboards where it is needed and all I have to do is post it once. Of course, with input_text, I do not want it edited by anyone but the admin which is why I would like to use markdown. Any ideas on this one?

Maybe:

Lovelace: Decluttering Card

Hey, I’ve created a new card that helps you declutter your LL config if you use multiple times the same block of cards with small differences (like an entity for example) to display things in LL. Visit github for installation instructions, up to date documentation and troubleshooting guide [GitHub Release] [GitHub Activity] [custom_updater] [Project Maintenance] decluttering-card This card is for Lovelace on Home Assistant. We all use multiple times the same block of configuration acros…

Or go all in and switch to YAML mode editing only, where YAML anchors and/or Lovelace_gen is available.

Since yaml-anchors work within ONE yaml file and only in a storage mode - I would suggest using decluttering card.
But in case of different DASHBOARDS (not VIEWS) using a decluttering card will require:

• in yaml mode - importing same yaml-files contains decluttering templates for each dashboard;
• in storage mode - pasting same decluttering templates into a “raw yaml editor” for each dashboard; in case of changing a decluttering template you need to sync these changes in “raw yaml editor” for each dashboard.

I am trying it now. Thank you for the suggestion.
