This is pretty simple: if we can edit cards directly in YAML, why can’t we use more advanced features such as anchors/aliases to avoid repetition, simple comments for explanation or temporarily disabling things, or maybe even templates? I think I’ve tried these a couple of times (it’s natural, after all, it works on other places) and they obviously don’t work.
Are there plans for supporting this? Is there a technical reason, user reason, or just a “pause” of development on that side?
Sorry if this is an old topic, but search returned a lot of questions about dashboards in YAML-only mode, or custom extensions which seem to change a lot how stuff works on your whole dashboard and I’m not sure I’d like to jump on that ship - lots of issues with custom extensions already haha
Edit: it seems not even that extension would help us anymore - at least not the way I’m understanding it; adding its “shebang” to the start of the dashboard won’t work because, well, comments are stripped out; and moving to YAML-only is way too drastic for such things.
